Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &db-md5sum; Download size: &db-size; Estimated disk space required: &db-buildsize; Estimated build time: &db-time; Additional Downloads Required patch: Required patch: Berkeley DB Dependencies Optional , , and sharutils (for the uudecode command) User Notes: You may want to skip ahead to . The test suite can take up to 150 SBUs and has a few bugs causing a report of Regression tests failed. However, running the test suite is a very exhaustive test of your hardware, perhaps pushing your machine harder (especially disk I/O) than it will ever see during production use. Note that you must have Tcl installed to run the test suite. Build for the Berkeley DB test by running the following commands: patch -Np0 -i ../patch.&db-version;.1 && patch -Np0 -i ../patch.&db-version;.2 && cd build_unix && ../dist/configure --prefix=/usr \ --enable-test \ --enable-tcl \ --with-tcl=/usr/lib && make To test the results, start tclsh: tclsh From the tclsh prompt (% ), run: source ../test/test.tcl run_parallel 5 run_std exit Clean up the source tree with the following command: make realclean && cd .. If you plan on installing Berkeley DB with Java support, you should check the system for certain versions of and . Specifically, if JDK-6 Update X and the uudecode program from the GMime program is on the system, the build will fail (unless you run the modified ./configure command shown below). You can run two commands (javac -version and uudecode --version) to determine what versions are installed. You can also download and run a shell script from that will alert you to a non-working condition. If the identified programs exist on the system, you must modify the ./configure command as shown below. uudecode="no" ../dist/configure --(use the parameters shown below) Install Berkeley DB by running the following commands: patch -Np0 -i ../patch.&db-version;.1 && patch -Np0 -i ../patch.&db-version;.2 && cd build_unix && ../dist/configure --prefix=/usr \ --enable-compat185 \ --enable-cxx && make Now, as the root user: make docdir=/usr/share/doc/db-&db-version; install && chown -v -R root:root \ /usr/bin/berkeley_db_svc \ /usr/bin/db_* \ /usr/include/db{,_185,_cxx}.h \ /usr/lib/libdb{{,_cxx}.a,{,_cxx,_java,_tcl}-4.5.{so,a,la}} \ /usr/share/doc/db-&db-version; cd build_unix && ../dist/configure --prefix=/usr...: This replaces the normal ./configure command, as Berkeley DB comes with various build directories for different platforms. --enable-compat185: This switch enables building the DB-1.85 compatibility API. --enable-cxx: This switch enables building C++ API libraries. --enable-tcl --with-tcl=/usr/lib: Enables Tcl support in DB and creates the libdb_tcl libraries. --enable-java: Enables Java support in DB and creates the libdb_java libraries. --enable-rpc: Enables building the Berkeley DB RPC server. make docdir=/usr/share/doc/db-&db-version; install: This installs the documentation in the standard location instead of /usr/docs. chown -v -R root:root ...:This command changes the ownership of various installed files from the uid:gid of the builder to root:root.
