Lefteris, Hans,

======== $ monetdb-install.sh --help -------- usage: /export/scratch0/manegold/Monet/Testing/Current/source/monetweb/Assets/monetdb-install.sh < OPTS ... >

where OPTS are: --prefix=path install into location path, defaults to /ufs/manegold/MonetDB --build=path use path as (temporary) build directory, defaults to /var/tmp/MonetDB-XXXXXXXXX --enable-sql build the MonetDB/SQL server --enable-xquery build the MonetDB/XQuery server --enable-geom build geom extension for MonetDB/SQL, this option implies --enable-sql --enable-template build template module for MonetDB extensions, this option requires nightly or cvs sources. --nightly=target download and install a nightly snapshot of the stable or current branch, target must be 'stable' or 'current' --cvs checkout a CVS snapshot of the current branch --enable-debug compile with debugging support via e.g. gdb --enable-optimise compile with high optimisation flags, enabling this option increases compilation time considerably but often yields in a faster MonetDB server --enable-optimize alias for --enable-optimise --quiet suppress output going to stdout --help this message --devhelp special help for developers ^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ --version show revision number and quit ======== $ monetdb-install.sh --devhelp -------- There are a few hooks in this script that may be interesting to developers or experienced users.

If you know what you're doing, by setting EXTRA_ECONF in the environment ^^^^^^^^^^^ you can pass extra arguments to configure invocations. Use with care.

The variable MAKEOPTS is passed onto each make invocation, and can be used to e.g. set "-j2" to speed up compilation times. By setting MAKE, a make with a special name or location can be used.

Two targets exist which control what the script is doing: unpack and install. They can be given as argument to the script. unpack only runs the fetch and unpacking phase, while install skips the fetching/unpacking of the sources, and starts configure/make/make install. By using --build=/path/to with the install target it is possible to resume/retry a (failed) compilation. ======== $ configure --help -------- [...] --enable-static[=PKGS] build static libraries [default=no] --enable-shared[=PKGS] build shared libraries [default=yes] [...] (Note that the "[=PKGS]" is some bug in the docu and should be ignored.) ========

Hence,

export EXTRA_ECONF='--disable-shared --enable-static' monetdb-install.sh --enable-xquery --prefix=/opt/MonetDB

will (should) give you a statically linked MonetDB/XQUery Mserver in that sense, that all required MonetDB modules are statically linked into the Mserver (as opposed to loading them as shared libraries at runtime).

What this does not do, though, is statically linking system libraries and other external libraries (like libxml2 or libpcre) into the Mserver --- we do not have any support for that.

Is there a compile time option for what NFI asks?

Hi Lefteris,

I would like to create a static compilation/link of MonetDB (XQuery). The purpose is to make the installation easier (No compilation while installing, No shared library dependencies). Given the MonetDB-Aug2008-SuperBall, what am I supposed to do, to create a version for an Ubuntu Linux x86-64 platform. I know the command: monetdb-install.sh --enable-xquery --prefix=/opt/MonetDB does the compilation for dynamic libraries.

Hope to hear from you. Thanks in advance.

Regards, Hans van Rijswijk NFI.
