FreeBSD 10 pkgng

One-liner to install everything using the new pkgng in FreeBSD 10

pkg install bison pkgconf protobuf ossp-uuid cppunit libmicrohttpd python27 py27-protobuf autoconf automake libtool

Building OLA

You can use the tarball or git to get the code.

Version >= 0.8.22

See here what has been done:

http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=33715

---

Code:

http://code.google.com/p/open-lighting/source/checkout

You just need to run:

• $ ./configure (--enable-rdm-tests will need python)
• $ make
• # make install

Running OLA

• $ olad -l3

Since you built with libmicrohttpd, you can use the web UI from http://127.0.0.1:9090

Other BSD

We don't forget these nice systems !

But you need to know that bsd is not like linux, each system has its kernel and userland.

So it could work on one system and not on another.

NetBSD

You can build ola on NetBSD (5.1 or 6.0)

(without python-libs because python-protobuf is missing):

• ksh (Don't forget to switch to ksh !)
• export PKG_PATH="http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/i386/5.1/All/"

or

• export PKG_PATH="http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/i386/6.0/All/"

• pkg_add bison pkg-config protobuf ossp-uuid cppunit
• pkg_add libmicrohttpd (will install more dependencies)

• pkg_add ncurses (not enough, feel free to edit)
• pkg_add autoconf automake libtool
• pkg_add scmgit (to use git repo)

• $ ./configure
• $ make
• # make install

OpenBSD

We still have problems to build on OpenBSD (5.1 or 5.2) :/

Because of this bug:

http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/issues/detail?id=406

But you can try with:

• export PKG_PATH="ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.1/packages/i386/"
• pkg_add bison protobuf ossp-uuid cppunit

• pkg_add autoconf automake (it will tell you the versions)
• pkg_add autoconf-2.68 automake-1.11.1p2 libtool
• export AUTOCONF_VERSION=2.68
• export AUTOMAKE_VERSION=1.11
• hack config/ola.m4 if you want
• autoreconf -fi
