BUILDING THE CITADEL SYSTEM WITH PRIVATE LIBRARIES -------------------------------------------------- This method is known to work on Linux and FreeBSD systems. It is a way of building the Citadel system with its own private copies of Berkeley DB and libical. This avoids conflicts with any other version of these libraries which may already exist on your host system. You can perform your builds in any directory (such as /usr/src or even your home directory). The target directories will be: * /usr/local/citadel (Citadel server, text client, utilities) * /usr/local/webcit (the WebCit front end) * /usr/local/ctdlsupport (libical, libdb, and their headers, etc.) The behavior of Easy Install is based upon this methodology. 1. Unpack the Berkeley DB tarball. chdir to the "build_unix" directory and build the package with these commands: ../dist/configure --prefix=/usr/local/ctdlsupport make make install 2. Unpack the libical tarball and build it with these commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ctdlsupport make make install 3. Set these environment variables for the rest of the build. (This assumes you're using the 'bash' shell. Otherwise you're on your own.) export CFLAGS='-I/usr/local/ctdlsupport/include' export CPPFLAGS='-I/usr/local/ctdlsupport/include' export LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/ctdlsupport/lib -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/local/ctdlsupport/lib' -L tells the build system where to find libraries during the build process, while -Wl,--rpath inserts that same library path into the Citadel binaries so they know where to find the libs at runtime. Since we can't depend on the correct version of Berkeley DB already being on the system, this is how we carry our own along. It's better than static linking everything. 4. If LDAP support is required, unpack the OpenLDAP tarball and build with: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ctdlsupport --with-db=/usr/local/ctdlsupport make make depend make install 5. Now you're ready to build the Citadel server. Unpack the Citadel tarball and build it with these commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/citadel --with-db=/usr/local/ctdlsupport make make install ** NOTE: if you already have a Citadel server in /usr/local/citadel, change the 'make install' to 'make upgrade'. And I'm sure you remembered to shut down your Citadel service and make a backup before starting, right? 6. Finally, unpack the WebCit tarball and build it with these commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/webcit make make install All of your software is now in place. Run /usr/local/citadel/setup to configure the Citadel server, and /usr/local/webcit/setup to configure WebCit. If you are on a Linux machine, setup will tweak /etc/inittab to automatically start the services. If you are on a FreeBSD machine, you will need to manually configure your startup scripts to start the services.
