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 build-essential
For building Erlang/OTP Crypto and SSL application:
aptitude install libssl-dev
For building Erlang/OTP with wxWidgets:
aptitude install libwxgtk3.0-dev libglu-dev
For building Erlang/OTP with jinterface:
aptitude install default-jdk
For building Erlang/OTP with Orber and other c++ projects:
sudo aptitude install g++
Next, set the ERL_TOP
and PATH
environment variables:
cd otp
# Bourne Shell
export ERL_TOP=$PWD
export PATH=$ERL_TOP/bin:$PATH
# C Shell
setenv ERL_TOP $PWD
setenv PATH $ERL_TOP/bin:$PATH
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.
