Installation
Here are the basic steps to build Erlang/OTP in the Git repository.
Start by cloning:
git clone git://github.com/erlang/otp.git
The following packages (Ubuntu 9.10) are dependencies for Erlang/OTP:
For building Erlang/OTP base,
aptitude install autoconf libncurses-dev
For building Erlang/OTP with wxWidgets:
aptitude install libwxgtk2.8-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libpng3
For building Erlang/OTP with jinterface:
aptitude install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-bin
For building Erlang/OTP with Orber and other c++ projects:
sudo aptitude install g++
Next, set ERL_TOP
the environment variable:
cd otp
export ERL_TOP=`pwd`
The repository does not contain a generated configure
file, so it must be generated like this:
./otp_build autoconf
before configure
can be run. When the configure
files has been generated, you can build in the usual way as described in the README file. Shortly:
./configure
make
To run the system you have built without installing it first:
$ERL_TOP/bin/erl
If you want to skip a certain library, do
touch lib/{library_name}/SKIP
before configure and make.
