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
  1. 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
  1. 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
