Build Prerequisites
===================
The list of Debian or RPM packages dependencies can be installed with:
./install-deps.sh
Note: libsnappy-dev and libleveldb-dev are not available upstream for
Debian Squeeze. Backports for Ceph can be found at ceph.com/debian-leveldb.
Building Ceph
=============
Autotools
---------
Developers, please refer to the [Developer
Guide](doc/dev/quick_guide.rst) for more information, otherwise, you
can build the server daemons, and FUSE client, by executing the
following:
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
(Note that the FUSE client will only be built if libfuse is present.)
CMake
-----
Prerequisite:
CMake 2.8.11
Build instructions:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake [options] /path/to/ceph/src/dir
make
(Note that /path/to/ceph/src/dir can be in the tree and out of the tree)
Dependencies
------------
The configure script will complain about any missing dependencies as
it goes. You can also refer to debian/control or ceph.spec.in for the
package build dependencies on those platforms. In many cases,
dependencies can be avoided with --with-foo or --without-bar switches.
For example,
./configure --with-nss # use libnss instead of libcrypto++
./configure --without-radosgw # do not build radosgw
./configure --without-tcmalloc # avoid google-perftools dependency
Building packages
-----------------
You can build packages for Debian or Debian-derived (e.g., Ubuntu)
systems with
sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev
dpkg-checkbuilddeps # make sure we have all dependencies
dpkg-buildpackage
For RPM-based systems (Red Hat, SUSE, etc.),
rpmbuild
Building the Documentation
==========================
Prerequisites
-------------
The list of package dependencies for building the documentation can be
found in doc_deps.deb.txt:
sudo apt-get install `cat doc_deps.deb.txt`
Building the Documentation
--------------------------
To build the documentation, ensure that you are in the top-level
`/ceph directory, and execute the build script. For example:
admin/build-doc
