Building Source Code
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
xcat-core
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Clone the xCAT project from `GitHub <https://github.com/xcat2/xcat-core>`_::
|
|
|
|
cd xcat-core
|
|
./buildcore.sh
|
|
|
|
To build the source rpms and no binary rpms, set ``SRCONLY``::
|
|
|
|
cd xcat-core
|
|
./buildcore.sh SRCONLY=1
|
|
|
|
A source rpm is the input that a build service such as mock, koji, COPR or OBS
|
|
takes, and it lets one machine make the source rpms while another makes the
|
|
binary rpms for each architecture. ``rpmbuild`` does not need the packages named
|
|
in ``BuildRequires`` to make a source rpm, so this also builds on a machine that
|
|
cannot complete a full build. ``SRCONLY`` is not supported on AIX.
|
|
|
|
xcat-deps
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
The ``xcat-deps`` package is currently owned and maintained by the core development on our internal servers. Use the packages created at: http://xcat.org/download.html#xcat-dep
|
|
|
|
|
|
man pages
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
The xCAT man pages are written in Perl POD files and automatically get built into the xCAT rpms. The content in the .pod files are always the master.
|
|
|
|
In the past, the man pages were converted into html files and uploaded to SourceForge. In moving to `ReadTheDocs <http://xcat-docs.readthedocs.org>`_ we want to also provide the man pages as references in the documentation. To convert the ``pods`` to ``rst``, we are using The Perl module: `pod2rst <http://search.cpan.org/~dowens/Pod-POM-View-Restructured-0.02/bin/pod2rst>`_.
|
|
|
|
The following steps will help configure ``pod2rst`` and be able to generate the changes .rst files to push to GitHub.
|
|
|
|
#. Download the following Perl modules:
|
|
|
|
- `Pod-POM-View-Restructured-0.02 <http://search.cpan.org/~dowens/Pod-POM-View-Restructured-0.02/lib/Pod/POM/View/Restructured.pm>`_
|
|
- `Pod-POM-2.00 <http://search.cpan.org/~neilb/Pod-POM-2.00/lib/Pod/POM.pm>`_
|
|
|
|
#. For each of the above Perl modules:
|
|
|
|
* **[as root]** Extract and build the Perl module ::
|
|
|
|
perl Makefile.PL
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
* **[as non-root]** Extract and build the Perl module using PREFIX to specify a directory that you have write permission ::
|
|
|
|
mkdir ~/perllib
|
|
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/perllib
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
#. Execute the script ``create_man_pages.py`` to generate the .rst files into ``xcat-core/docs`` :
|
|
|
|
* **[as root]** ::
|
|
|
|
cd xcat-core
|
|
./create_man_pages.py
|
|
|
|
* **[as non root]** ::
|
|
|
|
cd xcat-core
|
|
./create_man_pages.py --prefix=~/perllib
