Building

Compiling the source

Dependencies

• Poco
• librsync
• cmake
• make
• A C++ compiler

Compiling

First get the source by executing

git clone git://github.com/Ivesvdf/Bacsy.git

or an equivalent git command.

Navigate into the newly created directory with

cd Bacsy

We’ll be doing an out-of-source build, so

mkdir build
cd build

Then

cmake ..
make

When all your dependencies are installed, this should go smoothly. Currently, no installer exists.

Building Packages

All of these commands are executed from the build/ directory, after compiling.

Building shell and tar.gz packages

Execute

cpack

Building Debian packages

Warning

When building Debian packages, it is strongly recommended to use a static build of the Poco libraries. If you don’t, the changes of someone being able to use the packages executables is really small.

Execute

cpack -G DEB

Building RPM Packages

Execute

cpack -G RPM

This requires rpmbuild.

Building the documentation

The documentation is written in ReStructuredText and built with sphinx, it can be compiled into HTML by

cd docs
make
