1 README file for creating Moira*
3 This is the root directory of MIT Athena's Moira service management
6 The Makefiles are set up so that the source tree can be
7 separate from the tree(s) containing binaries. We have
8 found this useful since we have to have separate sets of binaries,
9 for different platforms.
11 The default value of the root of the Moira source tree
12 (this directory) is /mit/moiradev/src. You can set it
13 to something else by specifying, for example, "make SRCDIR=/x/y/z"
14 if you want the source in /x/y/z.
16 Here are the steps for building the Moira source.
18 1. Create a directory to hold the tree of object files,
19 say it's /foo/bar/baz.
21 2. Cd to that directory and run the command:
23 make -f /x/y/z/util/makeconfig SRCDIR=/x/y/z
25 where /x/y/z is the root of the source tree (not necessary
26 if the root is /mit/moiradev/src). This creates the necessary
27 directories and copies Makefiles into them.
29 3. Cd to util/imake.includes. Read through config.Imakefile, turning
30 on appropriate flags for your installation, and setting the paths
31 to your include files, libs, etc for Kerberos Hesiod and Zephyr.*
32 Note that we are not licensed to distribute gdss, so it is not
33 included in this distribution. Therefore you will probably not
34 want to define it. Change SRCTOP appropriately.
36 4. Cd to include. Read through moira_site.h adjusting the paths to
37 what you want on your system. Also change the #define of
38 MOIRA_SERVER to be the name of the server you are planning on
41 5. Still in the top of the object directory (/foo/bar/baz
42 of Step 1), type "make world" (or "make world SRCDIR=/x/y/z).
44 Note: the mmoira client uses X11r4 and motif 1.1.
46 Notes on building the server: When building the server (if you are
47 using Ingres) make sure to define the environment variable
48 II_SYSTEM appropriately, and add the ingres/bin directory to your
49 path. Building the server also requires having perl in your path.
50 It is only used in one place, in order to get around an ingres
51 bug that sets certain field sizes incorrectly when doing an ascii
52 dump of the database, causing data to be lost. The perl script is
53 src/backup/esql_fix.pl.
55 6. Run "make install". You may want to check that programs
56 are installed where you want. Then add the appropriate
57 directories to your PATH environment variable.
