| 5 | The following instructions assume the top level Greenstone folder is called |
|---|
| 6 | Greenstone (which is the standard name used for Greenstone 2 releases). |
|---|
| 7 | If you have got Greenstone from SVN, the top level directory will be greenstone2. |
|---|
| 8 | |
|---|
| 9 | The Greenstone Librarian Interface (GLI) code will be in the gli folder inside |
|---|
| 10 | the Greenstone folder. If you are using SVN and you want to use the GLI to |
|---|
| 11 | build collections, you'll need to check it out by running |
|---|
| 12 | svn checkout http://svn.greenstone.org/main/trunk/gli |
|---|
| 13 | in the Greenstone folder. |
|---|
| 14 | |
|---|
| 15 | -- Compiling and installing on Unix -- |
|---|
| 16 | |
|---|
| 17 | cd to the top level Greenstone directory (i.e. the directory |
|---|
| 18 | where this file lives) and perform the following three steps. |
|---|
| 19 | |
|---|
| 20 | 1. ./configure --enable-apache-httpd |
|---|
| 21 | 2. make |
|---|
| 22 | 3. make install |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | This will install the library.cgi and oaiserver.cgi executables to |
|---|
| 25 | Greenstone/cgi-bin/linux. |
|---|
| 26 | If you want to run Greenstone from a system |
|---|
| 27 | cgi-bin directory you'll need to move the library executable and |
|---|
| 28 | gsdlsite.cfg from Greenstone/cgi-bin/linux to your system cgi-bin. |
|---|
| 29 | |
|---|
| 30 | Note that the Greenstone directory structure is important to the operation |
|---|
| 31 | of the software. Therefore the --prefix, --bindir etc. options to configure |
|---|
| 32 | make no sense and will have no effect. If you want Greenstone to be |
|---|
| 33 | installed somewhere specific (say /usr/local) you'll need to move the |
|---|
| 34 | entire Greenstone directory there. |
|---|
| 35 | |
|---|
| 36 | Greenstone will install Apache into apache-httpd/linux. You can disable this |
|---|
| 37 | by running ./configure without the -enable-apache-httpd option. In that case |
|---|
| 38 | you'll need to set up your own apache to serve Greenstone. See See |
|---|
| 39 | http://wiki.greenstone.org/wiki/index.php/Setting_up_an_Apache_Web_Server_for_Greenstone_2_Walkthrough |
|---|
| 40 | for more details. |
|---|
| 41 | |
|---|
| 42 | To compile the GLI, cd to the gli directory and run makegli.sh |
|---|
| 43 | |
|---|
| 44 | -- Compiling on Windows -- |
|---|
| 45 | |
|---|
| 46 | Greenstone has been successfully compiled using Microsoft Visual C++ |
|---|
| 47 | versions 4.2, 6.0 and 2005. If anyone succeeds in compiling Greenstone with |
|---|
| 48 | another compiler (or another version of VC++) we'd appreciate hearing about |
|---|
| 49 | it at greenstone-devel@list.scms.waikato.ac.nz |
|---|
| 50 | |
|---|
| 51 | If you have got Greenstone from svn, you'll also need to download some Windows binaries. |
|---|
| 52 | 1. cd to top-level greenstone2 folder. |
|---|
| 53 | 2. cd bin |
|---|
| 54 | 3. svn co http://svn.greenstone.org/main/trunk/binaries/windows/bin windows |
|---|
| 55 | |
|---|
| 56 | |
|---|
| 57 | There is a batch script you can run to set up and compile Greenstone. |
|---|
| 58 | |
|---|
| 59 | If you want Greenstone to try and guess your Visual Studio setup, edit the |
|---|
| 60 | makegs2.bat file and set SET_GS_ENV to true. Otherwise you'll need to set up |
|---|
| 61 | your Visual Studio environment before running the make script. |
|---|
| 62 | For example, run |
|---|
| 63 | C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\vc\vcvarsall.bat |
|---|
| 64 | |
|---|
| 65 | To compile greenstone: |
|---|
| 66 | For 64 bit machines, run |
|---|
| 67 | * makegs2x64.bat |
|---|
| 68 | For 32 bit machines, run |
|---|
| 69 | * makegs2.bat |
|---|
| 70 | |

|---|
| 75 | http://wiki.greenstone.org/wiki/index.php/Compiling_Greenstone |
|---|
| 76 | |
|---|
| 77 | These scripts will unpack necessary zip files, set up paths etc, then compile |
|---|
| 78 | Greenstone. They will install library.cgi and oaiserver.cgi to the |
|---|
| 79 | Greenstone\cgi-bin\windows |
|---|
| 80 | directory and server.exe to the top level Greenstone directory. |
|---|
| 81 | |
|---|
| 82 | To run the web library you'll need to set up a web server to serve Greenstone. |
|---|
| 83 | Then you'll need to edit Greenstone\cgi-bin\gsdlsite.cfg. See |
|---|
