OLA on OS X

This page describes how to get LLA 0.3 working on OS X.

Basic setup

• Install xcode [[1]]
• install git [[2]]
• install mac ports [[3]]

Use Mac Ports to install stuff

$ port install pkgconfig protobuf-cpp cppunit unittest-cpp

Set some env vars

set $PATH to point to something sane (you should also make sure you point it at your ctemplate and libmicrohttpd)

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/local/var/macports/software/protobuf-cpp/2.0.3_0/opt/local/include/"
export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/local/var/macports/software/protobuf-cpp/2.0.3_0/opt/local/lib/"

Optionally install microhttpd and ctemplate

If you want the http interface you need these

• http://www.gnu.org/software/libmicrohttpd/ (Currently you need to install libgcrypt too for this library to work)

sudo port install libgcrypt

• http://code.google.com/p/google-ctemplate/

Run autoreconf

If this is the first time run with -i to install the missing files

autoconf -i

Do the usual steps

./configure
make
make check
sudo make install

Note: On Mac I had to add #include <sys/socket.h> to include/lla/ExportMap.h before the line #include <microhttpd.h> otherwise it would not know about socklen_t
