Compiling libMariaS3

libMariaS3 is designed to be compiled with GCC or CLang on a modern Linux distrubition or Mac OSX.

Prerequisites

libMariaS3 requires libcurl 7.x and libxml2 to be installed. For RPM based distributions this can be installed using:

sudo dnf install libcurl-devel libxml2-devel

Building

On most systems you can use the following commands, this is especially useful for customising your install:

autoreconf -fi
./configure
make
make install

The build system will automatically detect how many processor cores you have (physicaly and virtual) and set the --jobs options of make accordingly.

Testing

libMariaS3 comes with a basic test suite which we recommend executing, especially if you are building for a new platform.

You will need the following OS environment variables set to run the tests:

Variable	Desription
S3KEY	Your AWS access key
S3SECRET	Your AWS secret key
S3REGION	The AWS region (for example us-east-1)
S3BUCKET	The S3 bucket name
S3HOST	OPTIONAL hostname for non-AWS S3 service
S3NOVERIFY	Set to 1 if the host should not use SSL verification

The test suite is automatically built along with the library and can be executed with make check or make distcheck. If you wish to test with valgrind you can use:

TESTS_ENVIRONMENT="./libtool --mode=execute valgrind --error-exitcode=1 --leak-check=yes --track-fds=yes --malloc-fill=A5 --free-fill=DE" make check

Building RPMs

The build system for libMariaS3 has the capability to build RPMs. To build RPMs simply do the following:

autoreconf -fi
./configure
make dist-rpm

Note

The package redhat-rpm-config is required for building the RPM because this generates the debuginfo RPM.

Building DEBs

Debian packages for libMariaS3 can be built using the standard dpkg-buildpackage tool as follows:

autoreconf -fi
dpkg-buildpackage

Note

You may need to add --no-sign to dpkg-buildpackage to build unsigned packages.
