Berkeley DB

Dfrizel: Berkley DB does not ship with RPC anymore -- (Configure Info)

----

{{Package-Introduction|The Berkeley DB package contains programs and utilities used by many other applications for database related functions.|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/berkeley-db/index.html}}

== Dependencies ==

=== Optional ===
* [[TCL]]
* [[JDK]]
* [[Sharutils]]

== Additional Configuration Options ==

''--enable-java'': Enables the building of the Berkeley DB Java API ([[JDK]]).

''--enable-pthread_api'': Enables the POSIX thread library.

''--enable-tcl'': Enables the bulding of the Berkeley DB [[TCL]] API. You will need the ''--with-tcl=DIR'' flag if you use this one.

''--enable-test'': Enables the building of the test suite. The Berkeley DB [[TCL]] API must be built to run the test suite.

''--with-tcl=DIR'': This flag tells configure where [[TCL]]'s '''tclConfig.sh''' is located. The default is '''/usr/local/lib''', so if you want to enable [[TCL]] support in Berkeley DB, you will need to use this flag. '''tclConfig.sh''' will be in '''/usr/lib''', '''/usr/lib32''', or '''/usr/lib64''' - depending on which architecture you're building for.

== Test Suite Notes ==

Berkeley DB has a ''very'' extensive test suite. It will take hours - possibly half the day - to run. In addition, it's pretty much a guarantee that you'll have at least a few errors. So, think twice - perhaps even three or four times - before running it.

If you decide that you actually want to run the test suite, then you must have [[TCL]] installed and pass the following flags to configure:

''--enable-tcl''
''--with-tcl=DIR''
''--enable-test''

After running make, you will run:

tclsh

This opens up the [[TCL]] shell from where you will run the test suite:

source ../test/test.tcl
run_parallel 5 run_std
exit

So, after the '''run_parallel 5 run_std''' command you can run off to watch the entire Lord of the Rings or something. When you get back, you're going to have to build Berkeley DB again. This is because it is not recommended to use Berkeley DB configured with ''--enable-test'' on a production system.

So run '''make realclean''' and then run configure without the ''--enable-test'' flag. You can keep the [[TCL]]-related flags if you want to because [[TCL]] support in Berkeley DB can still be useful, but we don't want the test suite enabled. After that of course, you continue with building and installing Berkeley DB as normal.

== Non-Multilib ==

Compile the package:

cd build_unix &&
../dist/configure --prefix=/usr \
--enable-compat185 --enable-cxx &&
make

Install the package

make docdir=/usr/share/doc/db-{{Berkeley DB-Version}} install &&
chown -v root:root /usr/bin/db_* /usr/lib/libdb* /usr/include/db* &&
chown -v root:root /usr/bin/berkeley_db_svc &&
chown -v -R root:root /usr/share/doc/db-{{Berkeley DB-Version}}

=== Command Explanations ===

''--enable-compat185'': This flag makes it so that you can compile or load Berkeley DB 1.85 applications against this release of the Berkeley DB library.

''--enable-cxx'': Enables the building of the Berkeley DB C++ API.

''--enable-rpc'': Enables the building of the Berkeley DB RPC client code and server utility.

''docdir=/usr/share/doc/db-{{Berkeley DB-Version}}'': This tells make to install the documentation in '''/usr/share/doc''' instead of the default '''/usr/docs'''.

'''chown -v root:root...''': The makefile uses '''cp -p''' to install files. As such, the files are owned by the user that built them. So, unless you want that to be the case (as in the [http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/more_control_and_pkg_man.txt package user package management system]) you're going to want to chown them to root.

Back to [[Xorg7/libdrm|libdrm]]

== Introduction to Mesa ==

Mesa is an OpenGL compatible 3D library. Three packages are available.

* MesaLib - the main Mesa library source code, drivers and documentation.
* MesaGLUT - provides a working libglut.

You'll often only need the first package. However, there are a few packages that can use a GLUT library (such as [[LibTIFF]]), so you may wish to install MesaGLUT as well. If you choose to install MesaGLUT, extract all two tarballs from the same toplevel directory. All two will extract to the Mesa-{{Mesa-Version}} directory.

<b>Homepage:</b> http://www.mesa3d.org/

* [[Xorg7/libdrm|libdrm]]
* [[talloc]]

=== Optional ===

== For older Mesa Packages only ==
The Mesa Demos are in an own package now - needs to be configured and made seperately

If you would like to build and install glxinfo and glxgears execute the following command:

make CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" -C progs/xdemos glxinfo glxgears &&

Compile the package:

Install the package

make PREFIX=/usr SHARED=yes install

Some packages require the PCI static library. To install the library and headers, issue the following command:

make PREFIX=/usr SHARED=yes install-lib

=== Command Explanations ===

'''ZLIB=no''': This will make the '''pci.ids''' file usable for anything that expects an uncompressed version of the '''pci.ids''' file. Without this command the file would be called '''pci.ids.gz''', which is not compatbile with some programs. Compression of '''pci.ids''' was added with the 2.2.4 release.
If compressed support is enabled by '''ZLIB=yes''', pciutils will use pci.ids.gz in preference to pci.ids, even if the
pci.ids file is newer. If the pci.ids.gz file is missing, it will use pci.ids instead.
You can turn on compression support and uncompress '''pci.ids.gz''' to '''pci.ids''' after every update manually.

Dfrizel: Add Link for pango fonts

=Configuring the X Window System=

==FHS Symlinks==

If you installed an [[X Window System]] into a prefix other than /usr and you wish to be [http://www.pathname.com/fhs FHS compliant], it is necessary to create some symbolic links.

ln -sv ${XORG_PREFIX}/bin /usr/bin/X11
ln -sv ${XORG_PREFIX}/include/X11 /usr/include/X11

===Non-Multilib===

ln -sv ${XORG_PREFIX}/lib/X11 /usr/lib/X11

===Multilib===

ln -sv ${XORG_PREFIX}/lib/X11 /usr/lib/X11
ln -sv ${XORG_PREFIX}/lib32/X11 /usr/lib32/X11
ln -sv ${XORG_PREFIX}/lib64/X11 /usr/lib64/X11

==Creating /etc/X11/xorg.conf==

Now, as the ''root'' user, create a basic X Window System Configuration file.

cd ~ &&
Xorg -configure

This will create a configuration file in ''root'''s home directory called xorg.conf.new. You may edit this file to provide specific settings for your system. Some things that are commonly edited.

*In Section "Files". Change the order of the font paths searched or remove some font directories completely (of course why did you install them if you weren't going to use them?).

*In Section "Module". If you are going to install nVidia drivers, remove the "Load dri" line.

*In Section "Device". You may want to set some of the options available for your selected video driver. If you have an nVidia chip, whether using the "nv" or the "nvidia" driver, you may need to edit this section to resolve [https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3009 Xorg bug 3009] involving a missing mouse pointer. Add this line to Section "Device".

Option "HWCursor" "off"

*Xorg-7.3: If you have an Intel chip, the driver auto-detects all device information necessary to initialize the card. The only lines you should need in the "Device" section of your xorg.conf file are:

Section "Device"
Identifier "intel"
Driver "intel"
EndSection

Please refer to the intel(4) manual page for information on configuration
options.

*In Section "Screen". Add a DefaultDepth statement and in the SubSection for your default depth, add a modes line.

Test the system with

X -config ~/xorg.conf.new

You will only see a 'grey' background with black '''X''' cursor, but this indicates the X server is working. Exit with '''Control+Alt+Backspace'''. If the system does not work, take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what went wrong.

As the ''root'' user, create the configuration directory and move the configuration file to the new directory:

install -v -m755 -D ~/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

==PANGO SYMLINK==

if you intend to use Gnome, this symlink helps to render the fonts correctly. (Pango needs the fonts in /usr/share/fonts)
ln -sv ${XORG_PREFIX}/share/fonts /usr/share/
