| This package uses CMake (cmake.org) as building system. You'll need the cmake tool in order |
| to generate the Makefiles for your platform. You can also select which extensions must be built |
| with cmake. After the initial cmake configuration, you will need several tools such as make, a |
| C compiler (tested mostly with gcc), flex (> 2.5.4), bison, ... |
| |
| You may retrieve the source package in several ways: |
| - as a pre-packaged version for your platform. Check the website for supported platforms. |
| - as a tarball containing the source. |
| - directly from the repository using Mercurial tool: |
| hg clone http://www.freediameter.net/hg/freeDiameter |
| In order to update later: |
| hg pull -u |
| |
| Building in a separate directory is recommended: |
| # mkdir build |
| # cd build |
| # cmake ../ |
| # make |
| |
| You can pass options to instruct cmake about which components to compile on the command-line. |
| You can also use a CMake front-end (for example ccmake or cmake-gui). |
| If your cmake installation is recent, the edit_cache target is a good help as well: |
| # mkdir build |
| # cd build |
| # cmake ../ |
| # make help |
| # make edit_cache |
| # make |
| |
| You can disable the unit tests by doing: |
| # cmake -DBUILD_TESTING:BOOL=OFF ../ |
| # make |
| |
| When the tests are enabled, you can run them with: |
| # make test |
| |
| See the INSTALL.* files for additional platform-specific information. |
| Note that the most up-to-date INSTALL file is the Ubuntu one. You may want to read there |
| in addition to your own platform file. |
