rrdbuild - Instructions for building RRDtool

If you downloaded the source of rrdtool you have to compile it. This
document will give some information on how this is done.
This document will tell you about all the necessary steps to get going.

+ These instructions assume you are using a b\bba\bas\bsh\bh shell. If you use
+ csh/tcsh, then you can either type _\bb_\ba_\bs_\bh to switch to bash for the com-
+ pilation or if you know what you are doing just replace the export bits
+ with setenv.
+
+ We further assume that your copies of t\bta\bar\br and m\bma\bak\bke\be are actually G\bGN\bNU\bU t\bta\bar\br
+ and G\bGN\bNU\bU m\bma\bak\bke\be respectively. It could be that they are installed as g\bgt\bta\bar\br
+ and g\bgm\bma\bak\bke\be on your system.

Before you start to build RRDtool, you have to decide two things:
1. In which directory you want to build the software.
2. Where you want to install the software.
Once you have decided. Save the two locations into environment vari-
- ables. Depending on the shell you are using, you can do either
- (bash,zsh):
+ ables.
BUILD_DIR=/tmp/rrdbuild
- INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.27
-
- Or if you run tcsh:
-
- set BUILD_DIR=/tmp/rrdbuild
- set INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.27
+ INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/rrdtool-1.3rc4
If your _\b/_\bt_\bm_\bp is mounted with the option noexec (RHEL seems todo that)
you have to choose a different directory!
cd $BUILD_DIR
Lets first assume you already have all the necessary libraries
- pre-installed. Note that these instructions assume that your copies of
- t\bta\bar\br and m\bma\bak\bke\be are actually G\bGN\bNU\bU t\bta\bar\br and G\bGN\bNU\bU m\bma\bak\bke\be respectively. It could
- be that they are installed as g\bgt\bta\bar\br and g\bgm\bma\bak\bke\be on your system.
+ pre-installed.

./configure --prefix=$INSTALL_DIR && make && make install
Ok, this was very optimistic. This try will probably have ended with
- c\bco\bon\bnf\bfi\big\bgu\bur\bre\be complaining about several missing libraries. If you are on a
- Linux or *bsd system you may want to just install the missing bits from
- your software repository. When you do that, make sure you also get the
- -\b-d\bde\bev\bv package for each library you install. Once you have the missing
- bits on board, just re-run the last line of the instructions above.

+ If your OS lets you install additional packages from a software reposi-
+ tory, you may get away with installing the missing packages. When the
+ packages are installed, run configure again and try to compile again.
+ Below you find some hints on getting your OS ready for the rrdtool com-
+ pilation. Additions to this list are welcome.

+
+ Just add a compiler and the gnome development package:
+
+ pkg install sunstudioexpress
+ pkg install SUNWgnome-common-devel
- But again this may have been too optimistic, and you actually have to
- compile your own copies of the required libraries.
+ There is a a problem with _\bc_\ba_\bi_\br_\bo_\b._\bp_\bc on opensolaris. It suggests that
+ xrender is required for compilation with cairo. This is not true and
+ also bad since opensolaris does not include an _\bx_\br_\be_\bn_\bd_\be_\br_\b._\bp_\bc file. Use
+ perl to fix this:
+
+ perl -i~ -p -e 's/(Requires.*?)\s*xrender.*/$1/' /usr/lib/pkgconfig/cairo.pc
+
+ D\bDe\beb\bbi\bia\ban\bn /\b/ U\bUb\bbu\bun\bnt\btu\bu
+
+ Use apt-get to make sure you have all that is required. A number of
+ packages will get added through dependencies.
+
+ apt-get install libpango1.0-dev libxml2-dev

+ But again this may have been too optimistic still, and you actually
+ have to compile your own copies of some of the required libraries.
+ Things like libpng and zlib are pretty standard so you will probably
+ have them on your system anyway. Freetype, Fontinst, Cairo, Pango may
+ be installed, but it is possible that they are pretty old and thus
+ don't live up to the expectations, so you may want to compile their
+ latest versions.

CFLAGS="-xO3 -kPIC"
+ Some libraries want to know where other libraries are. For this to
+ work, set the following environamen variable
+
+ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=${INSTALL_DIR}/lib/pkgconfig
+ export PATH=$INSTALL_DIR/bin:$PATH
+
+ Since we are compiling libraries dynamically, you they must further
+ know where to find each other. This is done by setting an appropri-
+ ate LDFLAG. Unfortunatly the syntax differs from system to system:
+
+ Solaris
+ export LDFLAGS=-R${INSTALL_DIR}/lib
+
+ Linux
+ export LDFLAGS="-Wl,--rpath -Wl,${INSTALL_DIR}/lib"
+
+ If you are on a 64bit platform, but would like to continue to
+ use the rrd files created on your old 32bit linux, you may be
+ able
+
+ HPUX
+ export LDFLAGS="+b${INSTALL_DIR}/lib"
+
+ AIX
+ export LDFLAGS="-Wl,-blibpath:${INSTALL_DIR}/lib"
+
+ If you have GNUmake installed and it is not called 'make', then do
+
+ export MAKE=gmake
+ export GNUMAKE=gmake
+
+ otherwhise just do
+
+ export MAKE=make
+
Building zlib
+ Chances are very high that you already have that on your system ...

Building libpng
Libpng itself requires zlib to build, so we need to help a bit. If
are on one line.

+ Building fontconfig

-
- Now all the dependent libraries are built and you can try again. Since
- these are static libraries, you may have to use _\br_\ba_\bn_\bl_\bi_\bb to make them
- accessible. Especially BSD systems like Mac OS X may require this,
- Linux and Solaris will do just fine without since their _\ba_\br command does
- ranlibs job as well.
-
- ranlib $BUILD_DIR/lb/lib/*.a
-
- This time you tell configure where it should be looking for libraries
- and include files. This is done via environment variables. Depending on
- the shell you are running, the syntax for setting environment variables
- is different. Under csh/tcsh you use:
-
- set IR=-I$BUILD_DIR/lb/include
- setenv CPPFLAGS "$IR $IR/libart-2.0 $IR/freetype2 $IR/libpng"
- setenv LDFLAGS -L$BUILD_DIR/lb/lib
- setenv CFLAGS -O3
-
- If you are running bash/sh/ash/ksh/zsh use this:
-
- IR=-I$BUILD_DIR/lb/include
- CPPFLAGS="$IR $IR/libart-2.0 $IR/freetype2 $IR/libpng"
- LDFLAGS="-L$BUILD_DIR/lb/lib"

And finally try building again. We disable the python and tcl bindings
because it seems that a fair number of people have ill configured
python and tcl setups that would prevent rrdtool from building if they
are included in their current state.
