Installing Drizzle on FreeBSD 7.x
This HowTo was created with FreeBSD 7.1 using a clean jail. It should apply equally well to newer releases.
As of this writing (7/2/09) FreeBSD support is almost in to the development & trunk branches, but is waiting on a merge or two to happen. If you want to check out what's coming hit the lp:~mordred/drizzle/pandora-build branch where all of the fixes currently reside.
Use gmake
Use GNU-make (gmake) for everything rather than BSD-make (make) as there are subtle differences that will break the compiles of both Google's Proto-Buffers and Drizzle (libdrizzle is currently not affected.)
Satisfying Dependencies
Using Packages
Using sysinstall select and install the following:
- required for: libdrizzle, protobuf, and drizzle
- devel/autoconf
- devel/automake
- devel/gmake
- required for: libdrizzle and drizzle
- devel/bazaar-ng
- required for: drizzle
- devel/bison
- devel/pcre
- misc/e2fsprogs-libuuid
Using Ports
You may encounter problems with the version of Bazaar included with FreeBSD 7.1, it's pretty old at this point. The easiest way to get a newer version (and newer versions of everything going the ports route) is to use portsnap to update to the latest port set.
- required for: libdrizzle, protobuf, and drizzle
- cd /usr/ports/devel/autoconf && make install
- cd /usr/ports/devel/automake && make install
- cd /usr/ports/devel/gmake && make install
- required for: libdrizzle and drizzle
- cd /usr/ports/devel/bazaar-ng && make install
- required for: drizzle
- cd /usr/ports/devel/bison && make install
- cd /usr/ports/devel/pcre && make install
- cd /usr/ports/misc/e2fsprogs-libuuid && make install
Continue
Continue installing Drizzle with the next step: installing libdrizzle, the client protocol library.
