1. Build and install

Dependencies

Building ebusd from the source requires the following packages and/or features on your build system:

• autoconf (>=2.63)
• automake (>=1.11)
• g++
• make
• kernel with pselect or ppoll support
• glibc with argp support or argp-standalone

Install required packages on Debian

dpkg install git autoconf automake g++ make

Install required packages on Arch Linux

pacman -S git autoconf automake gcc make

Build

In order to build ebusd, follow these steps:

1. Get the source
   For the time being, ebusd is only available on git. If you have git installed, simply type:

git clone https://github.com/john30/ebusd.git
cd ebusd

2. Configure your directory structure
   The default destination of the compiled ebusd binary is /usr/bin/ebusd. If that's fine for you, simply type:

./autogen.sh

If you prefer having the ebusd binary in another directory, you have to adjust the prefix, e.g. like this:

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local

In case you want to get a debuggable version of the binaries, you can simply change the environment variable CXXFLAGS before invoking ./autogen.sh (actually ./configure), e.g.:

CXXFLAGS="-g -O0 -ggdb" ./autogen.sh

3. Compile the source
   To compile it, simply type:

make

After that, you should be able to run it directly and get the command line help like this:

./src/ebusd/ebusd --help

Install

To install the binaries together with an init script on the local machine, type:

make install
