How to build from source
Requirements
Common requirements
In order to build csync, you need to install several components:
optional:
- libsmbclient >= 3.5
- libssh >= 0.5
sqlite3 is a runtime requirement. libsmbclient is needed for the smb plugin, libssh for the sftp plugin. libneon is required for the ownCloud plugin.
Note that these version numbers are versions we know work correctly. If you build and run csync successfully with an older version, please let us know.
Building
First, you need to configure the compilation, using CMake. Go inside the
build dir. Create it if it doesn't exist.
GNU/Linux and MacOS X:
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
make
CMake standard options
Here is a list of the most interesting options provided out of the box by CMake.
- CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE: The type of build (can be Debug Release MinSizeRel RelWithDebInfo)
- CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX: The prefix to use when running make install (Default to /usr/local on GNU/Linux and MacOS X)
- CMAKE_C_COMPILER: The path to the C compiler
- CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER: The path to the C++ compiler
CMake options defined for csync
Options are defined in the following files:
- DefineOptions.cmake
They can be changed with the -D option:
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DWITH_LOG4C=OFF ..
Browsing/editing CMake options
In addition to passing options on the command line, you can browse and edit
CMake options using cmakesetup (Windows) or ccmake (GNU/Linux and MacOS X).
- Go to the build dir
- On Windows: run
cmakesetup - On GNU/Linux and MacOS X: run
ccmake ..
Installing
Before installing you can run the tests if everything is working:
make test
If you want to install csync after compilation run:
make install
Running
The csync binary can be found in the build/client directory.
