Introduction to GDBM

The GDBM package contains the GNU Database Manager. This is a disk file format database which stores key/data-pairs in single files. The actual data of any record being stored is indexed by a unique key, which can be retrieved in less time than if it was stored in a text file.

Dependencies

Additional Configuration Options

Note to DESTDIR fans: Unfortunately gdbm ignores DESTDIR. However, it has the INSTALL_ROOT variable which does exactly the same thing. So, just use INSTALL_ROOT instead of DESTDIR.

Non-Multilib

Compile the package:

./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make

Install the package

make BINOWN=root BINGRP=root install

You may need to install the DBM and NDBM compatibility headers and library since some applications look for these older dbm routines.

make BINOWN=root BINGRP=root install-compat

Multilib

32Bit

Compile the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" ./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make

Install the package

make BINOWN=root BINGRP=root install

You may need to install the DBM and NDBM compatibility headers and library since some applications look for these older dbm routines.

make BINOWN=root BINGRP=root install-compat

N32

Compile the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib32 &&
make

Install the package

make BINOWN=root BINGRP=root install

You may need to install the DBM and NDBM compatibility headers and library since some applications look for these older dbm routines.

make BINOWN=root BINGRP=root install-compat

64Bit

Compile the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 &&
make

Install the package

make BINOWN=root BINGRP=root install

You may need to install the DBM and NDBM compatibility headers and library since some applications look for these older dbm routines.

make BINOWN=root BINGRP=root install-compat
