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.

'''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.

Introduction to GDBM

GNU dbm is a set of database routines that use extensible hashing. It works similar to the standard Unix dbm routines.

Project Homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/gdbm/

Configuration Information

Note

GDBM does not use DESTDIR, it uses INSTALL_ROOT instead. Just use INSTALL_ROOT as you would DESTDIR.

Note

Appending --enable-libgdbm-compat configure option as shown will build and install computability headers and libraries.

Non-Multilib

Compile the package: 

./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-libgdbm-compat &&
make

Install the package 

make install

Multilib

32Bit

Compile the package: 

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

Install the package 

make  install

N32

Compile the package: 

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

Install the package 

make install

64Bit

Compile the package: 

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

Install the package 

make install

Contents
