Compile on CentOS with PostgreSQL database support
This guide was tested on clean installation of CentOS GNU/Linux 7 (1503).
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.
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), postgresql-devel (C application programmer's interface to PostgreSQL) 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, postgresql-devel, Lua
Install them with command: yum install make gcc-c++ zlib-devel postgresql-devel lua-devel
2. Downloading source and compile.
- a. PtokaX source
Download it with command: curl -O <html><b>http://www.PtokaX.org/files/0.5.1.0-nix-src.tgz</b></html>
Unpack downloaded archive with command: tar -xf 0.5.1.0-nix-src.tgz
Now we have in actual directory new directory PtokaX. Go to that directory with command: cd PtokaX - b. PtokaX compile
- Compile PtokaX with command: make -f makefile-postgres centos6
