Add installation instructions to the repository #2

Closed isleshocky77 closed 8 years ago

isleshocky77 commented 9 years ago

It would be nice to have build and installation instructions for people wanting to get this up and running.

Hi isleshocky77,

I'm quite busy these days, but I will definitely add some build instructions. Problem is, that I've only tested this on Arch Linux and didn't had the chance to try this out on Fedora and Ubuntu.

Still, here are some quick & dirty instructions, which should get it working. Sidewinderd is depending on systemd, libconfig, clang (g++ not tested), cmake and git. It is also depending on tinyxml2, which is currently included in sidewinderd.

For Arch Linux users (tested):

  1. download from AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sidewinderd/
  2. use "makepkg" and "pacman -U " to install

For other Linux distributions (untested):

  1. $ git clone https://github.com/tolga9009/sidewinderd.git
  2. $ cd sidewinderd
  3. $ git checkout tags/0.2.0
  4. $ git submodule update --init
  5. $ mkdir build
  6. $ cd build
  7. $ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
  8. $ make
  9. $ make install

After installation, you will need to change the user in /etc/sidewinderd.conf. You can start the daemon with "systemctl start sidewinderd". Enable it on every boot with "systemctl enable sidewinderd". More documentation on how the daemon works, will follow soon.

I will be able to optimize and package sidewinderd for other Linux distributions this, or the next weekend.

Cheers, Tolga

Looks like an outdated gcc to me. Which gcc version are you using? Also, do you have to opportunity to compile it using clang?

dvogel commented 9 years ago

It's gcc 4.9 with glibc 2.19:

I will try to compile with clang sometime soon.

tolga9009 commented 9 years ago

I'm using glibc 2.21 and gcc 4.9.2. The error is related to the use of C++11 thread header file. The -lpthread flag seems to be missing, which is not needed on my Arch Linux machine for some reason. I assumed, that the compiler auto-adds the needed libs, in order to make C++11 extensions work; especially, when the -std=c++11 flag is set.

For a quick fix:

I haven't tested it, but it should be enough for a quick fix.

As soon as I got some time, I will fix this. There are some very elegant CMake commands to solve this issue; but I need some time for it. Thanks for reporting!

Cheers, Tolga

tolga9009 commented 9 years ago

I have added the pthread library to the CMake file and have tested it under Debian Jessie Live CD (commit 732268b). Your issue should have been fixed now. Works for both, clang and g++. Please test and report back.

Cheers, Tolga

Updated readme with installation instructions. Fixed by c832cbdd3ad874cc2dd3e0b595fe1a5cc2926bf3.
