| 4 | The following instructions assume the top level Greenstone folder is called |
|---|
| 5 | Greenstone2 (which is the standard name used for Greenstone 2 releases). |
|---|
| 6 | If you have got Greenstone from SVN, the top level directory will be gsdl. |
|---|
| 7 | |
|---|
| 8 | The Greenstone Librarian Interface (GLI) code will be in the gli folder inside |
|---|
| 9 | the Greenstone2 folder. If you are using SVN and you want to use the GLI to |
|---|
| 10 | build collections, you'll need to check it out by running |
|---|
| 11 | svn checkout http://svn.greenstone.org/gli/trunk gli |
|---|
| 12 | in the Greenstone2 folder. |
|---|
| 13 | |
|---|
| 14 | -- Compiling and installing on Unix -- |
|---|
| 15 | |
|---|
| 16 | cd to the top level Greenstone2 directory (i.e. the directory |
|---|
| 17 | where this file lives) and perform the following three steps. |
|---|
| 18 | |
|---|
| 19 | 1. ./configure |
|---|
| 20 | 2. make |
|---|
| 21 | 3. make install |
|---|
| 22 | |
|---|
| 23 | This will install the library and oaiserver executables to |
|---|
| 24 | Greenstone2/cgi-bin. |
|---|
| 25 | If you want to run Greenstone from a system |
|---|
| 26 | cgi-bin directory you'll need to move the library executable and |
|---|
| 27 | gsdlsite.cfg from Greenstone2/cgi-bin to your system cgi-bin. |
|---|
| 28 | |
|---|
| 29 | Note that the Greenstone directory structure is important to the operation |
|---|
| 30 | of the software. Therefore the --prefix, --bindir etc. options to configure |
|---|
| 31 | make no sense and will have no effect. If you want Greenstone to be |
|---|
| 32 | installed somewhere specific (say /usr/local) you'll need to move the |
|---|
| 33 | entire Greenstone2 directory there. |
|---|
| 34 | |
|---|
| 35 | You'll need to install Apache and set it up to serve Greenstone. Then you'll need to edit Greenstone2\cgi-bin\gsdlsite.cfg. See |
|---|
| 36 | http://wiki.greenstone.org/wiki/index.php/Setting_up_an_Apache_Web_Server_for_Greenstone_2_Walkthrough |
|---|
| 37 | for more details. |
|---|
| 38 | |
|---|
| 39 | To compile the GLI, cd to the gli directory and run makegli.sh |
|---|
| 40 | |
|---|
| 41 | -- Compiling on Windows -- |
|---|
| 42 | |
|---|
| 43 | Greenstone has been successfully compiled using Microsoft Visual C++ |
|---|
| 44 | versions 4.2, 6.0 and 2005. If anyone succeeds in compiling Greenstone with |
|---|
| 45 | another compiler (or another version of VC++) we'd appreciate hearing about |
|---|
| 46 | it at greenstone-devel@list.scms.waikato.ac.nz |
|---|
| 47 | |
|---|
| 48 | The major difference between compiling with VC++ 4.2 compared with |
|---|
| 49 | VC++ 6.0/2005 is that 4.2 must use the STLport standard template library |
|---|
| 50 | (packaged with Greenstone) while VC++ 6.0/2005 may use its own built in |
|---|
| 51 | STL implementation. |
|---|
| 52 | |
|---|
| 53 | Perform the following steps to compile and install Greenstone. Note that |
|---|
| 54 | some parts of the process described are specific to one or other of the two |
|---|
| 55 | compilation options mentioned above. These steps are marked as such. |
|---|
| 56 | |
|---|
| 57 | 1. Unzip the following zip archives (into the directories in which the |
|---|
| 58 | zip files themselves are contained). |
|---|
| 59 | |
|---|
| 60 | * Greenstone2\common-src\indexers\packages\windows\iconv\iconv.zip |
|---|
| 61 | * Greenstone2\common-src\packages\windows\gdbm\gdbm.zip |
|---|
| 62 | * Greenstone2\common-src\packages\windows\crypt\crypt.zip |
|---|
| 63 | * Greenstone2\common-src\packages\windows\expat\expat.zip |
|---|
| 64 | * Greenstone2\common-src\packages\windows\stlport\stlport.zip (VC++ 4.2 only) |
|---|
| 65 | |
|---|
| 66 | 2. To use VC++ command line tools you may need to execute the |
|---|
| 67 | MSDEV\BIN\VCVARS32.BAT batch file to set up your environment. |
|---|
| 68 | |
|---|
| 69 | 3. cd to the top level Greenstone2 directory (i.e. the directory where |
|---|
| 70 | this file lives). |
|---|
| 71 | |
|---|
| 72 | 4. compile the web library (library.exe) and OAI server (oaiserver.exe) with |
|---|
| 73 | "nmake /f win32.mak GSDL_VC4=1" (VC++ 4.2) |
|---|
| 74 | or |
|---|
| 75 | "nmake /f win32.mak" (VC++ 6.0/2005) |
|---|
| 76 | |
|---|
| 77 | 5. compile the local library (server.exe) with |
|---|
| 78 | "nmake /f win32.mak GSDL_VC4=1 LOCAL_LIBRARY=1" (VC++ 4.2) |
|---|
| 79 | or |
|---|
| 80 | "nmake /f win32.mak LOCAL_LIBRARY=1" (VC++ 6.0/2005) |
|---|
| 81 | |
|---|
| 82 | This will install library.exe and oaiserver.exe to the Greenstone2\cgi-bin |
|---|
| 83 | directory and server.exe to the top level Greenstone2 directory. |
|---|
| 84 | |
|---|
| 85 | To run the web library you'll need to set up a web server to serve Greenstone. Then you'll need to edit Greenstone2\cgi-bin\gsdlsite.cfg. See |
|---|

|---|

|---|
| 90 | |
|---|
| 91 | To compile the GLI, cd to the gli directory and run makegli.bat. |
