Building Caucus
Once you have downloaded the
Caucus source code, you must build (compile) it on your server.
This release is known to build properly on
RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 and CentOS 5 (and higher).
RedHat Fedora 6 and higher.
Debian (Sarge)
Solaris 9
MacOS X 10.4 ("Tiger")
Requirements
C development tools (compiler, make, etc.)
MySQL version 5.0 or higher,
including the "developer files" libraries and header files.
MyODBC is not needed.
Java 1.5 or higher.
(Only required for new XML-compatible archive/restore functionality.)
Build Steps
The detailed build documentation is contained in the
INSTALL.TXT file, which is
included with the Caucus source code.
Like most open-source packages, it basically consists of:
Determining any special configuration settings.
Running "./configure"
Running "make"
This produces a Caucus "kit" in the single file caucus5.tar.
From here, proceed to the
installation instructions.
