Building Ceph
===============
Ceph provides build scripts for source code and for documentation.
Building Ceph
-------------
Ceph provides ``automake`` and ``configure`` scripts to streamline the build
process. To build Ceph, navigate to your cloned Ceph repository and execute the
following::
cd ceph
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
You can use ``make -j`` to execute multiple jobs depending upon your system. For
example::
make -j4
To install Ceph locally, you may also use::
sudo make install
If you install Ceph locally, ``make`` will place the executables in
``usr/local/bin``. You may add the ``ceph.conf`` file to the ``usr/local/bin``
directory to run an evaluation environment of Ceph from a single directory.
Building Ceph Documentation
---------------------------
Ceph utilizes Pythons Sphinx documentation tool. For details on the Sphinx
documentation tool, refer to: `Sphinx`_. To build the Ceph documentaiton,
navigate to the Ceph repository and execute the build script::
cd ceph
admin/build-doc
Once you build the documentation set, you may navigate to the source directory to view it::
cd build-doc/output
There should be an ``/html`` directory and a ``/man`` directory containing
documentation in HTML and manpage formats respectively.
