How to Make use of jpostal in Hosting Environment #18

Closed RajuTalisetty closed 7 years ago

RajuTalisetty commented 7 years ago

Hi ,

I am using jpostal library as part of java web project(based on the steps mentioned here jpostal.) , which is working perfectly in my local Linux server.

Now i want to deploy this application in the hosted server (like amazon/any hosted env), but before deploy this i need to install all the steps mentioned in the above link, because in my code i have dependency of following line. AddressParser p = AddressParser.getInstanceDataDir("/some/path"); "./configure --datadir=[] which is configure path of data directory as part of libpostal installatioin. I cannot install any packages of libpostal in the hosted envirounment, is there any possibility to bundle all the libpostal dependencies, including data-dir as part of the project.

Thanks, Raju.

Hey @RajuTalisetty, that situation sounds somewhat similar to our Travis CI environment, where we just install everything in the working directory. See the travls.yml for jpostal. There, and in most of the bindings, we don't install libpostal system-wide, we just set --prefix to a relative path during configure instead of the default /usr/local, and then make sure the relative dir is on PKG_CONFIG_PATH. Note: Travis runs gradle assemble automatically so that's not needed in the config. Also, the libsnappy-dev dependency is no longer required in libpostal 1.0, so there should be no runtime dependencies (Autotools and gcc are only required at build-time).
