Compile on Fedora
This guide was tested on clean installation of Fedora 22.
Everything is done from command line, that means everything can be done over ssh on remote server.
In my case was only base system installed, that means after startup and login i was already in command line and working directory was my home directory.
For database support you need database development files for database that will be used.
If you are not in command line then you need to go here some way (ie if gnome is installed then open terminal).
1. Prerequisites.
For PtokaX compile you need make (tool controlling executable generation from sources), g++ (c++ compiler), zlib (compression library used to save hub badwith), TinyXML (library used to read and write xml files) and Lua (programming language used for scripting).
They can be installed using package manager (Note: to install packages using package manager you need root permissions).
- a. Make, g++, zlib, tinyxml and lua
Install them with command: dnf install make gcc-c++ zlib-devel tinyxml-devel lua-devel - b. Database support (optional)
When you want PostgreSQL then install development files with command: dnf install postgresql-devel
When you want SQLite then install development files with command: dnf install sqlite-devel
When you want MySQL then install development files with command: dnf install community-mysql-devel
When you want MariaDB then install development files with command: dnf install mariadb-devel
2. Downloading source and compile.
- a. PtokaX source
Download it with command: curl -O <html><b>http://www.PtokaX.org/files/0.5.2.2-nix-src.tgz</b></html>
Unpack downloaded archive with command: tar -xf 0.5.2.2-nix-src.tgz
Now we have in actual directory new directory PtokaX. Go to that directory with command: cd PtokaX - b. PtokaX compile
- PtokaX without database support
Compile PtokaX with command: make fedora - PtokaX with PostgreSQL database support
Compile PtokaX with command: make -f makefile-postgres fedora - PtokaX with SQLite database support
Compile PtokaX with command: make -f makefile-sqlite fedora - PtokaX with MySQL or MariaDB database support
Compile PtokaX with command: make -f makefile-mysql fedora
