| 4 | The following instructions assume the top level Greenstone folder is called
|
|---|
| 5 | Greenstone (which is the standard name used for Greenstone 2 releases).
|
|---|
| 6 | If you have got Greenstone from SVN, the top level directory will be greenstone2.
|
|---|
| 7 |
|
|---|
| 8 | The Greenstone Librarian Interface (GLI) code will be in the gli folder inside
|
|---|
| 9 | the Greenstone 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/main/trunk/gli
|
|---|
| 12 | in the Greenstone folder.
|
|---|
| 13 |
|
|---|
| 14 | -- Compiling and installing on Unix --
|
|---|
| 15 |
|
|---|
| 16 | cd to the top level Greenstone directory (i.e. the directory
|
|---|
| 17 | where this file lives) and perform the following three steps.
|
|---|
| 18 |
|
|---|
| 19 | 1. ./configure --enable-apache-httpd
|
|---|
| 20 | 2. make
|
|---|
| 21 | 3. make install
|
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 | This will install the library.cgi and oaiserver.cgi executables to
|
|---|
| 24 | Greenstone/cgi-bin/linux.
|
|---|
| 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 Greenstone/cgi-bin/linux 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 Greenstone directory there.
|
|---|
| 34 |
|
|---|
| 35 | Greenstone will install Apache into apache-httpd/linux. You can disable this
|
|---|
| 36 | by running ./configure without the -enable-apache-httpd option. In that case
|
|---|
| 37 | you'll need to set up your own apache to serve Greenstone. See See
|
|---|
| 38 | http://wiki.greenstone.org/wiki/index.php/Setting_up_an_Apache_Web_Server_for_Greenstone_2_Walkthrough
|
|---|

|

|
|---|
| 41 | To compile the GLI, cd to the gli directory and run makegli.sh
|
|---|
| 42 |
|
|---|
| 43 | -- Compiling on Windows --
|
|---|
| 44 |
|
|---|
| 45 | Greenstone has been successfully compiled using Microsoft Visual C++
|
|---|
| 46 | versions 4.2, 6.0 and 2005. If anyone succeeds in compiling Greenstone with
|
|---|
| 47 | another compiler (or another version of VC++) we'd appreciate hearing about
|
|---|
| 48 | it at [email protected]
|
|---|
| 49 |
|
|---|
| 50 | If you have got Greenstone from svn, you'll also need to download some Windows binaries.
|
|---|
| 51 | 1. cd to top-level greenstone2 folder.
|
|---|
| 52 | 2. cd bin
|
|---|
| 53 | 3. svn co http://svn.greenstone.org/main/trunk/binaries/windows/bin windows
|
|---|
| 54 |
|
|---|
| 55 | There is a batch script you can run to set up and compile Greenstone.
|
|---|
| 56 | For 64 bit machines, run
|
|---|
| 57 | * makegs264.bat
|
|---|
| 58 | For 32 bit machines, run
|
|---|
| 59 | * makegs2.bat
|
|---|
| 60 |
|
|---|

|
|---|
| 62 | http://wiki.greenstone.org/wiki/index.php/Compiling_Greenstone
|
|---|
| 63 |
|
|---|
| 64 | These scripts will unpack necessary zip files, set up paths etc, then compile Greenstone.
|
|---|
| 65 |
|
|---|
| 66 | This will install library.cgi and oaiserver.cgi to the Greenstone\cgi-bin\windows
|
|---|
| 67 | directory and server.exe to the top level Greenstone directory.
|
|---|
| 68 |
|
|---|
| 69 | To run the web library you'll need to set up a web server to serve Greenstone. Then you'll need to edit Greenstone\cgi-bin\gsdlsite.cfg. See
