NAME

howto-compile-linux - Overview of the steps to compile cclive on GNU/Linux

DESCRIPTION

This document is an overview on how to compile and install cclive on a GNU/Linux system.

Notes

  • This document is Debian oriented but should translate easily to other GNU/Linux systems

  • See the README file for the complete list of the prerequisites

  • This documentation uses VPATH to confine all derived files to a single directory, to keep the source directories uncluttered

  • These instructions were written with 0.9+ in mind, though they could be followed to build and install 0.7 with different {download links}

Building and installation

  • Install the prerequisites: 

    $ sudo aptitude install libboost-program-options-dev libboost-system-dev \
                        libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-iostreams-dev \
                        libboost-date-time-dev libglibmm-2.4-dev \
                        libpcre3-dev
    Note We will install the most recent official version of libquvi and libquvi-scripts, not the Debian packaged binaries

  • Follow the howto-compile-linux(7) installation steps for the quvi components

    Note Install libquvi-scripts and libquvi (you can skip the installation steps for quvi) — return to this page after that and continue from below

  • Get the latest official release of cclive: 

    $ cd ~/build/tar/
$ curl -JLO# "http://cclive.sf.net/latest?q=0.9"
    Tip You can also use wget --content-disposition URL instead of curl(1)

  • Verify the download (optional, recommended): 

    $ curl -JLO# "http://cclive.sf.net/latest?q=0.9&sig"
$ gpg --recv-keys 0xCAC8C0A9
$ gpg --verify cclive-*.tar.xz.sig

    Verify the additional SHA512 checksum (for the paranoid):

    $ curl -JLO# "http://cclive.sf.net/latest?q=0.9&csum"
$ gpg --verify SHA512SUMS
$ sha512sum -c SHA512SUMS

  • Extract, compile and install cclive: 

    $ cd ~/build/
$ export DEST=`pwd`/inst
$ tar xf tar/cclive-*.tar.xz
$ cd cclive-* ; mkdir tmp ; cd tmp
$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$DEST/lib/pkgconfig/ ../configure --prefix=$DEST
$ make install
$ cd ~/build/

Running

  • The executable can be found in the bin directory: 

    $ $DEST/bin/cclive --version

  • Modify MANPATH so that man(1) will find the installed manpages: 

    $ export MANPATH=$DEST/share/man/:$MANPATH
$ man 1 cclive
