Tools used to build and run Clusterator
If you just want to build the damn package
$ ./bin/build
Now you have have Debian package in your parent directory
This project uses a standard GNU Autotools build system. 'nough said.
cd into the project root and run autoreconf and configure
$ autoreconf --install
$ ./configure --prefix=$PWD/build # prefix is optional
This will create auto generate all the scripts needed to configure the build. The --prefix will cause all the Makefiles to use the specified absolute path for installation--handy for testing the build.
Once you have the build configured, run it is just the normal make stuff e.g.
$ make
$ make install
There are a number of ways to distribute projects using Autotools, it's one of the perks. The easiest is using dist
$ make dist
You should see some archives in the project root, usually a tarball and a zip. This can be changed in configure.ac. Before you really release you should test the distribution. Again, Autotools makes this really easy.
$ make distcheck
This will ensure that your distribution passes all the standard checks. For example, in this project Autotools is configured to ensure all executables provide --help and --version.
To build a Debian package run
$ dpkg-buildpackage
NOTE: Dockerized build not yet working
There are lots of ways to build a Docker image from an Autotools. For convenience you can use the distbin script in this project
$ distbin
$ Docker build -t clusterator .
$ create-machines
...
$ start-consul dh.vb.local start
