8 Building OpenAFS on UNIX and LINUX
9 ----------------------------------
11 A. Creating the proper directory structure.
13 Uncompress the source into a directory of your choice.
14 Preferrably, afs space. In the directory that you uncompressed the
15 source in, you will only have an src directory.
17 1. Make a directory for each system type that you plan on
18 building. Current tested system types include the following
19 (this step is skipped for the i386_nt40 system type):
32 Builds for the following platforms will not fully compile:
37 2. Within each of those directories, create a dest/ and obj/ directory.
40 % mkdir i386_linux22/dest
41 % mkdir i386_linux22/obj
43 3. Create symbolic links to the system type you are about to build
46 % ln -s @sys/dest dest
49 Makefile@ dest@ i386_linux22/ obj@ src/
51 4. If this source is NOT in AFS space, You must make a link from
52 @sys to your current system type.
55 % ln -s i386_linux22 @sys
57 Within AFS space, the AFS Cache Manager automatically
58 substitutes the local machine's AFS system name (CPU/operating
59 system type [ie: alpha_dux40, i386_linux22, ...]) for the @sys
62 5. Create the top level Makefile:
63 a. For LINUX and UNIX versions
66 % ln -s src/Makefile Makefile
68 Makefile@ i386_linux22/ src/
72 1. Make the obj links. This creates links from the @sys/obj/ tree
73 back to the source tree. The source tree remains unchanged and
74 builds are done in the platform specific object tree.
80 % make SYS_NAME="i386_linux22" LINUX_VERS="2.2.14"
82 b. For UNIX versions, specify the system name as given by
83 the system type defined in step A1.
84 % make SYS_NAME="<system_name>"
86 Example for the rs_aix42 operating system:
87 % make SYS_NAME="rs_aix42"
