Build from Source

---

Requirements

In order to build csync, you need to install several components:

• A C compiler
•  CMake >= 2.6.0
•  openssl >= 0.9.8

or

•  gcrypt >= 1.4

Building

First, you need to configure the compilation, using CMake. Go inside the build directory and type

  cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
  make

CMake standard options

Here is a list of the most interesting options provided out of the box by CMake.

• CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE: The type of build (can be Debug Release MinSizeRel? RelWithDebInfo?)
• CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX: The prefix to use when running make install (Default to /usr/local on GNU/Linux and MacOS X)
• CMAKE_C_COMPILER: The path to the C compiler
• CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER: The path to the C++ compiler

CMake options defined for csync

Options are defined in the following files:

• DefineOptions?.cmake

They can be changed with the -D option:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DWITH_SERVER=ON ..

Running

The libssh commandline client for testing can be found in the build directory.

cd build
./samplessh localhost

Installation

make install will install the application to the destination defined by the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX option.
