Building Boost from Source

Boost binaries are available for most platforms. In some cases it can be easier to build from source as follows:

Minimum required is boost 1_32. Here we install 1.44. Installing boost 1.38

Optionally get ICU to fully support unicode in boost regex

Centos

yum install libicu-devel

Ubuntu

apt-get install libicu-dev

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_45_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html#easy-build-and-install

Download and unpack Boost Source

cd ~
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.45.0/boost_1_45_0.tar.gz
tar xvfz boost_1_45_0.tar.gz
cd boost_1_45_0

Build and install Boost

./bjam --help
./bootstrap.sh --with-libraries=date_time,filesystem,iostreams,program_options,regex,system,thread
./bjam
sudo ./bjam install

If you get a problem about bzip.h missing ...

cd ~
wget http://bzip.org/1.0.6/bzip2-1.0.6.tar.gz
tar xvfz bzip2-1.0.6.tar.gz
cd bzip2-1.0.6

maybe add -fPIC to Makefile

nano Makefile
CFLAGS=-Wall -fPIC -Winline -O2 -g $(BIGFILES)

make
sudo make install

Building service

service is an incomplete multithreaded framework to support dynamic loading of library routines and serving a request/response queue.

www provides an optional web interface to the request/response queue. Windows only at the moment due to a single asp files but could be ported to php.

Building service

cd ~/exodus/trunk/service/service

g++ -fPIC -c *.cpp -I/usr/local/include/boost-1_38 -I/usr/local/include/exodus
g++ -shared -o libservice.so -lc *.o
g++ -o service main.cpp -I/usr/local/include/boost-1_38 -L. -I/usr/local/include/exodus \
-lexodus -lpq -lboost_filesystem-gcc41-mt -lboost_regex-gcc41-mt -lboost_thread-gcc41-mt \
-L./ -lservice

Running service

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
./service
