Build instructions

Setup repository

  • Clone the git repository
  • Initialize submodules: git submodule update --init

Install build dependencies

Building requires:

  • gcc 4.4+ or clang 3.2+
  • cmake 2.8+
  • zlib development files (headers, libraries)

Integration tests require:

  • Python
  • Valgrind (optional, but recommended)

To install these on Ubuntu, try:

sudo apt-get install cmake build-essential zlib1g-dev

Build, test, and install

Note: if using clang, export the environment variables CC=clang, CXX=clang++.

Joinx does not support in source builds. Create a new build directory, enter it, and run:

  • cmake /path/to/joinx/repo [opts]
    • Some useful options to cmake are:
      • -DBOOST_ROOT=/path/to/boost if boost is installed somewhere other than the default location
      • -DBoost_NO_SYSTEM_PATHS=on to skip checking system default locations for boost headers and libs
      • -DBoost_USE_STATIC_LIBS=on to link boost statically
      • -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path change the installation location (default: /usr)
  • make deps
  • make
  • ctest (to run unit tests)
  • make install

Running ctest with run both unit and integration tests. you can run one or the other with ctest -L <unit|integration>
