Qpid SVN Trunk Build Instructions

Prerequisites

Some of the source is auto-generated from the AMQP spec file. This generator is written in Ruby. Auto-generation is performed by running make (see below); no special steps are required.

Ensure you have the latest devel versions of the following packages installed:

boost <http://www.boost.org> (>=1.33) *
e2fsprogs <http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/>

* There is a patch to get v.1.32 working in the svn tree though that is only recommended as a last resort.

To build directly from the SVN repository you will need all of the above plus the following development tools:

pkgconfig <http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/wiki/>
gcc <http://gcc.gnu.org/>
GNU make <http://www.gnu.org/software/make/>
autoconf <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/>
automake <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/>
help2man <http://www.gnu.org/software/help2man/>
libtool <http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/>
doxygen <ftp://ftp.stack.nl/pub/users/dimitri/>
graphviz <http://www.graphviz.org/>
ruby <http://www.ruby-lang.org>

Hint: To check and install all of the above, use (as root):

yum install boost-devel e2fsprogs-devel pkgconfig gcc-c++ make autoconf automake help2man libtool doxygen graphviz ruby

Optional cluster functionality requires:

openais <http://openais.org/>

Optional XML exchange requires:

xqilla <http://xqilla.sourceforge.net/HomePage>
xerces-c <http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/>

Optional SSL support requires:

Check out the source

Check the source for Qpid java out of our subversion repository: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/qpid/trunk/qpid/

svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/qpid/trunk/qpid

Automake vs CMake

Currently we have 2 parallel build systems one using automake the other using cmake.

We are moving towards cmake and will eventually get rid of automake, but for the moment the cmake system is not complete and we have to live with both.

That means if you add a file to the build, you must update both Makefile.am and CMakeLists.txt and check that you can build with both systems as described below.

Build with automake

First you need to initialize the autotools:

./bootstrap

To build Qpid, run

./configure
make

By default, configure will enable the options for which it finds the installed packages. However, to override this behavior, use parameters with configure to disable unwanted options.
Hint: To see all the configure options, run

./configure --help

Finally, to make sure all the test pass both C++ and Pyhton run

make check

As a convenient shortcut you can do all of the above steps in one command with:

./bootstrap -build

Build with cmake

mkdir builddir
cd buildir
cmake <path to checkout>/cpp/CMakeLists.txt
make # Build
make test # Run tests

You can also use the interactive ccmake on linux and the GUI on windows to modify the configuration.
