Appendix A. Building AFS from Source Code This chapter describes how to build AFS from source code. storing AFS source in volume creating volume for AFS source volume for AFS source source (AFS) storing in AFS volume files AFS source Loading the Source Files Working on an AFS client machine, perform these steps to load the AFS source tree from the AFS Source Distribution. commands vos create src.afs volume vos commands create src.afs volume src.afs volume volume creating src.afs creating src.afs volume Create and mount a volume for housing the AFS source tree. These instructions name the volume src.afs and mount it at the /afs/cellname/afs/src directory. Setting the -maxquota argument to 0 (zero) sets an unlimited quota on the volume, which enables you to copy all of the files into the volume without exceeding its quota. If you wish, you can set the volume's quota to a finite value after you complete the copying operation. At that point, use the vos examine command to determine how much space the volume is occupying. Then issue the fs setquota command to set a quota that is slightly larger. # vos create <machine name> <partition name> src.afs -maxquota 0 # cd /afs/.cellname # mkdir afs # fs mkmount afs/src src.afs # vos release root.cell # fs checkvolumes On the local /cdrom directory, mount the CD-ROM that contains the AFS source files. For instructions on mounting CD-ROMs (either locally or remotely via NFS), consult the operating system documentation. copying source files from CD-ROM CD-ROM copying source files from Copy the source files from the CD-ROM into the newly created volume. # cd /cdrom/src # cp -rp * /afs/.cellname/afs/src source (AFS) compiling compiling AFS from source building AFS from source Compiling AFS Binaries Using the washtool Program The AFS distribution includes the washtool program for managing a hierarchy of software development projects. The program builds project trees for program editing, compilation, and installation. Create a subdirectory under the /afs/.cellname/afs directory for each system type for which you will build AFS binaries. Creating and mounting a volume for each system type is recommended, but you can also simply use the mkdir command. If you create a new volume, grant it an unlimited quota to avoid running out of space during the build process. # cd /afs/.cellname/afs If creating a new volume: # vos create <machine name> <partition name> sysname -maxquota 0 # fs mkmount sysname sysname If not creating a new volume: # mkdir sysname In the directory for each system type, create subdirectories called dest, dest/bin, and obj. If you plan to use the @sys variable in pathnames that refer to these directories, then you must use the conventional system names listed in the OpenAFS Release Notes. # cd sysname # mkdir dest # mkdir dest/bin # mkdir obj Create the indicated directories and symbolic links in the /afs/.cellname/afs directory. # cd /afs/.cellname/afs # ln -s @sys/dest dest # ln -s @sys/obj obj # ln -s . PARENT # ln -s src/Makefile Makefile The following is an example directory listing for the /afs/.cellname/afs directory after completing the preceding steps. It includes two example system types. lrwxr-xr-x admin 12 Jun 18 11:26 Makefile->src/Makefile lrwxr-xr-x admin 1 Jun 18 11:26 PARENT -> . lrwxr-xr-x admin 9 Jun 18 11:25 dest -> @sys/dest lrwxr-xr-x admin 8 Jun 18 11:25 obj -> @sys/obj drwxrwxrwx admin 4096 Jun 18 11:24 rcs drwxrwxrwx admin 2048 Jun 18 11:27 rs_aix42 drwxrwxrwx admin 2048 Jun 18 11:10 src drwxrwxrwx admin 2048 Jun 18 11:27 sun4x_56 (Optional) By default, the build procedure writes its results into a destination directory for each system type called /afs/.cellname/afs/sysname/dest. To write the results to a different destination directory, create a link from the dest directory to it. # cd /afs/.cellname/afs/sysname # ln -s full_path_of_alternate_directory dest commands washtool washtool command For each system type you plan to build, copy the binary for the washtool program to the directory specified in the AFS Makefile, which is /afs/cellname/afs/sysname/dest/bin. If you prefer to store the program in a different directory, you can use the WASHTOOL variable on the make command line as described in Step 6. If there is a volume that houses the AFS binaries for each system type (as recommended), the conventional location for the washtool binary is the /afs/cellname/sysname/usr/afsws/bin directory. Use the following instruction to copy it. # cd /afs/cellname/sysname/usr/afsws/bin # cp washtool /afs/.cellname/afs/sysname/dest/bin Otherwise, mount the (binary) AFS CD-ROM for this system type on the local /cdrom directory, and copy the washtool binary directly from it. # cd /cdrom/sysname/bin # cp washtool /afs/.cellname/afs/sysname/dest/bin commands make make command variables WASHTOOL variables SYS_NAME for washtool command SYS_NAME variable for washtool command WASHTOOL variable Working in the /afs/.cellname/afs directory on a machine of the system type for which you are building AFS, issue the make install command. Set the SYS_NAME variable to the appropriate system type name. If the washtool binary is not in the conventional directory (/afs/cellname/afs/sysname/dest/bin), set the WASHTOOL variable to the alternate full pathname of the binary. # cd /afs/.cellname/afs # make SYS_NAME=sysname [WASHTOOL=alternate_washtool_directory] install
