Build Prerequisites

Tip

Check this section to see if there are specific prerequisites for your Linux/Unix distribution.

Before you can build Ceph source code, you need to install several libraries and tools. Ceph provides autoconf and automake scripts to get you started quickly. Ceph build scripts depend on the following:

• autotools-dev
• autoconf
• automake
• cdbs
• gcc
• g++
• git
• libboost-dev
• libedit-dev
• libssl-dev
• libtool
• libfcgi
• libfcgi-dev
• libfuse-dev
• linux-kernel-headers
• libcrypto++-dev
• libcrypto++
• libexpat1-dev
• pkg-config
• libcurl4-gnutls-dev

On Ubuntu, execute sudo apt-get install for each dependency that isn’t installed on your host.

sudo apt-get install autotools-dev autoconf automake cdbs gcc g++ git libboost-dev libedit-dev libssl-dev libtool libfcgi libfcgi-dev libfuse-dev linux-kernel-headers libcrypto++-dev libcrypto++ libexpat1-dev

On Debian/Squeeze, execute aptitude install for each dependency that isn’t installed on your host.

aptitude install autotools-dev autoconf automake cdbs gcc g++ git libboost-dev libedit-dev libssl-dev libtool libfcgi libfcgi-dev libfuse-dev linux-kernel-headers libcrypto++-dev libcrypto++ libexpat1-dev pkg-config libcurl4-gnutls-dev

On Debian/Wheezy, you may also need:

keyutils-dev libaio libboost-thread-dev

Note

Some distributions that support Google’s memory profiler tool may use a different package name (e.g., libgoogle-perftools4).

Ubuntu

• uuid-dev
• libkeyutils-dev
• libgoogle-perftools-dev
• libatomic-ops-dev
• libaio-dev
• libgdata-common
• libgdata13
• libsnappy-dev
• libleveldb-dev

Execute sudo apt-get install for each dependency that isn’t installed on your host.

sudo apt-get install uuid-dev libkeyutils-dev libgoogle-perftools-dev libatomic-ops-dev libaio-dev libgdata-common libgdata13 libsnappy-dev libleveldb-dev

Debian

Alternatively, you may also install:

aptitude install fakeroot dpkg-dev
aptitude install debhelper cdbs libexpat1-dev libatomic-ops-dev

openSUSE 11.2 (and later)

• boost-devel
• gcc-c++
• libedit-devel
• libopenssl-devel
• fuse-devel (optional)

Execute zypper install for each dependency that isn’t installed on your host.

zypper install boost-devel gcc-c++ libedit-devel libopenssl-devel fuse-devel
