INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. Generate the configure script. If you downloaded the source from git or are compiling with premium hook packages, you will need to run autoreconf to generate the configure script as shown below. If you are building from a tarball you may skip this step. $ autoreconf --install 2. Run the configure script. If you want to alter Kea's installation path, or need to include capabilities (e.g. enabling MySQL or PostgreSQL) you will need to specify these as options to the configure script (run ./configure -h for list of options). $ ./configure If your environment is missing dependencies, the configure script will exit with error and should emit sufficient information to guide you on how to proceed. A detailed account of the configure process is captured in ./config.log. 3. Build it. Once you've successfully configured the source tree, run "make" to build it. You may wish to include the -j command line option to specify parallel execution to speed things along: $ make 4. Install it. Depending on your target directory, this step will likely require a root privileges. You can install the software by running: $ sudo make install Kea depends on C++ compiler, make, libtool, boost (at least includes, but many OSes require boost-system library), log4cplus and one crypto library (either OpenSSL or Botan) for compilation. Optional backends (MySQL, PostgreSQL and Cassandra) have additional dependencies.
