| Instruction for Building the Greenplum Database, PerfMon, Clients, Loaders, and Connectivity Packages |
| |
| July, 2009 |
| |
| Along with this file you will find the complete source to the above Greenplum products and pre-built |
| versions of all of the third-party libraries that they use. In addition, you will need the following |
| tools: |
| |
| autoconf 2.59 or later. autoconf 2.63 preferred. |
| binutils 2.15 |
| bison 1.875 or later. bison 2.4.1 preferred. |
| diffutils 2.8.1 |
| flex 2.5.4a or later. flex 2.5.35 preferred. |
| gcc 4.4.2 |
| gfortran 4.4.2 |
| greptools 2.5.1 on Linux, 2.5 on Solaris |
| libtool 1.4.6 on CentOS, 1.5.22 on SuSE |
| make 3.80 or later |
| perl 5.8.8 |
| tar (GNU) 1.14 (named or symlinked to gtar on Solaris) |
| |
| Most of these tools can be installed anywhere on the PATH. A few, however, need to be installed into |
| specific locations: |
| |
| /opt/gcc-4.1.1 on CentOS and Solaris |
| /opt/perl-5.8.8 |
| |
| In addition, there is one GNU library that is not included in the source set. That is readline-5.2. |
| It is only required if you want readline support on Solaris for Python-2.6.2. It just needs to be in |
| LD_LIBRARY_PATH if you build Python and when you run it. Again, this is only for Solaris as CentOS |
| and SuSE already include readline. |
| |
| To build the Greenplum Database and PerfMon products, run GNU make with the following options: |
| |
| For a debug build: |
| |
| # make HOME=`pwd` devel |
| |
| For a dist build: |
| |
| # make GPROOT=`pwd` dist |
| |
| To build the Clients, Loaders, and Connectivity packages, add the BLD_TARGETS= argument to the make |
| command line: |
| |
| # make GPROOT=`pwd` BLD_TARGETS="clients loaders connectivity" dist |
| |
| These packages are supported on a longer list of platforms than the Database and PerfMon packages. |
| Supported Clients, Loaders, and Connectivity platforms include the following and require, where listed |
| an additional argument to make. |
| |
| OSX 10.5 |
| CentOS 4.5 32-bit |
| CentOS 4.5 64-bit |
| CentOS 5.2 32-bit |
| Solaris 10u3 x86 32-bit BLD_ARCH=sol10_x86_32 |
| Solaris 10u4 SPARC 32-bit BLD_ARCH=sol10_sparc_32 |
| Solaris 10u4 SPARC 64-bit BLD_ARCH=sol10_sparc_64 |
| Solaris 9u9 SPARC 32-bit BLD_ARCH=sol9_sparc_32 |
| Solaris 8 2/04 SPARC 32-bit BLD_ARCH=sol8_sparc_32 |
| Windows 32-bit BLD_ARCH=win32 |
| |
| Later updates of the Solaris releases should suffice for building but will respectively raise the OS |
| level requirement at runtime. The Windows build requires an install of mingw32 on a Linux machine |
| and a Windows machine with Cygwin sshd the WIX packaging tools installed. |
| |
| Locations of the Component Products |
| |
| The Greenplum Database source set is contained in the cdb-pg, gpcc, and gpMgmt directories with support |
| from the releng and ext/<arch> directories as well as the top-level files. |
| |
| Greenplum Performance Monitor is located in the gpperfmon directory with dependencies on the cdb-pg and |
| ext/<arch> directories. |
| |
| Clients, Loaders, and Connectivity products are built from a subset of the Greenplum Database binaries |
| and the client directory. |
| |
| The ext/<arch> directories provide the third-party libraries used by the above products for each platform. |
