## Compilation
|
|
|
|
**Important**: If you plan to run RocksDB in production, don't compile using default
|
|
`make` or `make all`. That will compile RocksDB in debug mode, which is much slower
|
|
than release mode.
|
|
|
|
RocksDB's library should be able to compile without any dependency installed,
|
|
although we recommend installing some compression libraries (see below).
|
|
We do depend on newer gcc/clang with C++11 support.
|
|
|
|
There are few options when compiling RocksDB:
|
|
|
|
* [recommended] `make static_lib` will compile librocksdb.a, RocksDB static library. Compiles static library in release mode.
|
|
|
|
* `make shared_lib` will compile librocksdb.so, RocksDB shared library. Compiles shared library in release mode.
|
|
|
|
* `make check` will compile and run all the unit tests. `make check` will compile RocksDB in debug mode.
|
|
|
|
* `make all` will compile our static library, and all our tools and unit tests. Our tools
|
|
depend on gflags. You will need to have gflags installed to run `make all`. This will compile RocksDB in debug mode. Don't
|
|
use binaries compiled by `make all` in production.
|
|
|
|
* By default the binary we produce is optimized for the platform you're compiling on
|
|
(-march=native or the equivalent). If you want to build a portable binary, add 'PORTABLE=1' before
|
|
your make commands, like this: `PORTABLE=1 make static_lib`. If you want to build a binary that
|
|
makes use of SSE4, add 'USE_SSE=1' before your make commands, like this: `USE_SSE=1 make static_lib`.
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
* You can link RocksDB with following compression libraries:
|
|
- [zlib](http://www.zlib.net/) - a library for data compression.
|
|
- [bzip2](http://www.bzip.org/) - a library for data compression.
|
|
- [snappy](http://google.github.io/snappy/) - a library for fast
|
|
data compression.
|
|
- [zstandard](http://www.zstd.net) - Fast real-time compression
|
|
algorithm.
|
|
|
|
* All our tools depend on:
|
|
- [gflags](https://gflags.github.io/gflags/) - a library that handles
|
|
command line flags processing. You can compile rocksdb library even
|
|
if you don't have gflags installed.
|
|
|
|
## Supported platforms
|
|
|
|
* **Linux - Ubuntu**
|
|
* Upgrade your gcc to version at least 4.8 to get C++11 support.
|
|
* Install gflags. First, try: `sudo apt-get install libgflags-dev`
|
|
If this doesn't work and you're using Ubuntu, here's a nice tutorial:
|
|
(http://askubuntu.com/questions/312173/installing-gflags-12-04)
|
|
* Install snappy. This is usually as easy as:
|
|
`sudo apt-get install libsnappy-dev`.
|
|
* Install zlib. Try: `sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev`.
|
|
* Install bzip2: `sudo apt-get install libbz2-dev`.
|
|
* Install zstandard: `sudo apt-get install libzstd-dev`.
|
|
|
|
* **Linux - CentOS / RHEL**
|
|
* Upgrade your gcc to version at least 4.8 to get C++11 support:
|
|
`yum install gcc48-c++`
|
|
* Install gflags:
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/gflags/gflags.git
|
|
cd gflags
|
|
git checkout v2.0
|
|
./configure && make && sudo make install
|
|
|
|
**Notice**: Once installed, please add the include path for gflags to your CPATH env var and the
|
|
lib path to LIBRARY_PATH. If installed with default settings, the lib will be /usr/local/lib
|
|
and the include path will be /usr/local/include.
|
|
|
|
* Install snappy:
|
|
|
|
wget https://github.com/google/snappy/releases/download/1.1.4/snappy-1.1.4.tar.gz
|
|
tar -xzvf snappy-1.1.4.tar.gz
|
|
cd snappy-1.1.4
|
|
./configure && make && sudo make install
|
|
|
|
* Install zlib:
|
|
|
|
sudo yum install zlib
|
|
sudo yum install zlib-devel
|
|
|
|
* Install bzip2:
|
|
|
|
sudo yum install bzip2
|
|
sudo yum install bzip2-devel
|
|
|
|
* Install zstandard:
|
|
|
|
wget https://github.com/facebook/zstd/archive/v1.1.3.tar.gz
|
|
mv v1.1.3.tar.gz zstd-1.1.3.tar.gz
|
|
tar zxvf zstd-1.1.3.tar.gz
|
|
cd zstd-1.1.3
|
|
make && sudo make install
|
|
|
|
* **OS X**:
|
|
* Install latest C++ compiler that supports C++ 11:
|
|
* Update XCode: run `xcode-select --install` (or install it from XCode App's settting).
|
|
* Install via [homebrew](http://brew.sh/).
|
|
* If you're first time developer in MacOS, you still need to run: `xcode-select --install` in your command line.
|
|
* run `brew tap homebrew/versions; brew install gcc48 --use-llvm` to install gcc 4.8 (or higher).
|
|
* run `brew install rocksdb`
|
|
|
|
* **iOS**:
|
|
* Run: `TARGET_OS=IOS make static_lib`. When building the project which uses rocksdb iOS library, make sure to define two important pre-processing macros: `ROCKSDB_LITE` and `IOS_CROSS_COMPILE`.
|
|
|
|
* **Windows**:
|
|
* For building with MS Visual Studio 13 you will need Update 4 installed.
|
|
* Read and follow the instructions at CMakeLists.txt
