OLA on Linux

Installing LLA on Linux From GIT/Archive

This describes how to get LLA working on a Linux system.

Checkout or Download an Archive

 git clone http://www.nomis52.net/git/lla

If you don't have it yet, install git using your distro's package manager.

Install libraries

You need a couple of libraries installed for everything to work correctly. Some of these are available as packages in most distros but others need to be downloaded.

First up we'll need microhttpd for the embedded web server (Note: you'll need version >= 0.4.0):

-> ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libmicrohttpd/

Then you will need libcppunit-dev and libcppunit.

Debian users can install them with apt:

 apt-get install libcppunit-dev libcppunit-1.12-1

Next, you need the Protocol Buffers from Google (BSD license). Most likely, you will need to download and build them yourself:

-> http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/

Debian users will can use the following packets (not yet in stable): libprotobuf2, libprotobuf-dev, protobuf-compiler

Then, build CTemplate (another Google goodie):

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

Finally run ldconfig as root to pick up the new libraries

 ldconfig

Configure

If you checked out the sources from git, you'll need to run

 autoreconf -i

After that run

 ./configure

Building & Testing

Build

 make

Run the tests

 make check

And install LLA

 sudo make install
