Glog-Specific Install Notes
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
*** NOTE FOR 64-BIT LINUX SYSTEMS
|
|
|
|
The glibc built-in stack-unwinder on 64-bit systems has some problems
|
|
with the glog libraries. (In particular, if you are using
|
|
InstallFailureSignalHandler(), the signal may be raised in the middle
|
|
of malloc, holding some malloc-related locks when they invoke the
|
|
stack unwinder. The built-in stack unwinder may call malloc
|
|
recursively, which may require the thread to acquire a lock it already
|
|
holds: deadlock.)
|
|
|
|
For that reason, if you use a 64-bit system and you need
|
|
InstallFailureSignalHandler(), we strongly recommend you install
|
|
libunwind before trying to configure or install google glog.
|
|
libunwind can be found at
|
|
|
|
http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/libunwind/libunwind-snap-070410.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
Even if you already have libunwind installed, you will probably still
|
|
need to install from the snapshot to get the latest version.
|
|
|
|
CAUTION: if you install libunwind from the URL above, be aware that
|
|
you may have trouble if you try to statically link your binary with
|
|
glog: that is, if you link with 'gcc -static -lgcc_eh ...'. This
|
|
is because both libunwind and libgcc implement the same C++ exception
|
|
handling APIs, but they implement them differently on some platforms.
|
|
This is not likely to be a problem on ia64, but may be on x86-64.
|
|
|
|
Also, if you link binaries statically, make sure that you add
|
|
-Wl,--eh-frame-hdr to your linker options. This is required so that
|
|
libunwind can find the information generated by the compiler required
|
|
for stack unwinding.
|
|
|
|
Using -static is rare, though, so unless you know this will affect you
|
|
it probably won't.
|
|
|
|
If you cannot or do not wish to install libunwind, you can still try
|
|
to use two kinds of stack-unwinder: 1. glibc built-in stack-unwinder
|
|
and 2. frame pointer based stack-unwinder.
|
|
|
|
1. As we already mentioned, glibc's unwinder has a deadlock issue.
|
|
However, if you don't use InstallFailureSignalHandler() or you don't
|
|
worry about the rare possibilities of deadlocks, you can use this
|
|
stack-unwinder. If you specify no options and libunwind isn't
|
|
detected on your system, the configure script chooses this unwinder by
|
|
default.
|
|
|
|
2. The frame pointer based stack unwinder requires that your
|
|
application, the glog library, and system libraries like libc, all be
|
|
compiled with a frame pointer. This is *not* the default for x86-64.
|
|
|
|
If you are on x86-64 system, know that you have a set of system
|
|
libraries with frame-pointers enabled, and compile all your
|
|
applications with -fno-omit-frame-pointer, then you can enable the
|
|
frame pointer based stack unwinder by passing the
|
|
--enable-frame-pointers flag to configure.
|
|
|

|
Basic Installation
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
Briefly, the shell commands `./configure; make; make install' should
|
|
configure, build, and install this package. The following
|
|
more-detailed instructions are generic; see the `README.md' file for
|
|
instructions specific to this package.
|
|
|
|
The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
|
|
various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses
|
|
those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package.
|
|
It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent
|
|
definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that
|
|
you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, and a
|
|
file `config.log' containing compiler output (useful mainly for
|
|
debugging `configure').
|
|
|
|
It can also use an optional file (typically called `config.cache'
|
|
and enabled with `--cache-file=config.cache' or simply `-C') that saves
|
|
the results of its tests to speed up reconfiguring. Caching is
|
|
disabled by default to prevent problems with accidental use of stale
|
|
cache files.
|
|
|
|
If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try
|
|
to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail
|
|
diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README.md' so they can
|
|
be considered for the next release. If you are using the cache, and at
|
|
some point `config.cache' contains results you don't want to keep, you
|
|
may remove or edit it.
|
|
|
|
The file `configure.ac' (or `configure.in') is used to create
|
|
`configure' by a program called `autoconf'. You need `configure.ac' if
|
|
you want to change it or regenerate `configure' using a newer version
|
|
of `autoconf'.
|
|
|
|
The simplest way to compile this package is:
|
|
|
|
1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
|
|
`./configure' to configure the package for your system.
|
|
|
|
Running `configure' might take a while. While running, it prints
|
|
some messages telling which features it is checking for.
|
|
|
|
2. Type `make' to compile the package.
|
|
|
|
3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with
|
|
the package.
|
|
|
|
4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
|
|
documentation.
|
|
|
|
5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
|
|
source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the
|
|
files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for
|
|
a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'. There is
|
|
also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly
|
|
for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get
|
|
all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came
|
|
with the distribution.
|
|
|
|
6. Often, you can also type `make uninstall' to remove the installed
|
|
files again.

Building glog - Using vcpkg
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
The url of vcpkg is: https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg
|
|
You can download and install glog using the vcpkg dependency manager:
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
|
|
cd vcpkg
|
|
./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
|
|
./vcpkg integrate install
|
|
./vcpkg install glog
|
|
|
|
The glog port in vcpkg is kept up to date by Microsoft team members and community contributors. If the version is out of date, please create an issue or pull request on the vcpkg repository.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compilers and Options
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that the
|
|
`configure' script does not know about. Run `./configure --help' for
|
|
details on some of the pertinent environment variables.
|
|
|
|
You can give `configure' initial values for configuration parameters
|
|
by setting variables in the command line or in the environment. Here
|
|
is an example:
|
|
|
|
./configure CC=c99 CFLAGS=-g LIBS=-lposix
|
|
|
|
*Note Defining Variables::, for more details.
|
|
|
|
Compiling For Multiple Architectures
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the
|
|
same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their
|
|
own directory. To do this, you can use GNU `make'. `cd' to the
|
|
directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run
|
|
the `configure' script. `configure' automatically checks for the
|
|
source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'.
|
|
|
|
With a non-GNU `make', it is safer to compile the package for one
|
|
architecture at a time in the source code directory. After you have
|
|
installed the package for one architecture, use `make distclean' before
|
|
reconfiguring for another architecture.
|
|
|
|
Installation Names
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
By default, `make install' installs the package's commands under
|
|
`/usr/local/bin', include files under `/usr/local/include', etc. You
|
|
can specify an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving
|
|
`configure' the option `--prefix=PREFIX'.
|
|
|
|
You can specify separate installation prefixes for
|
|
architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you
|
|
pass the option `--exec-prefix=PREFIX' to `configure', the package uses
|
|
PREFIX as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
|
|
Documentation and other data files still use the regular prefix.
|
|
|
|
In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give
|
|
options like `--bindir=DIR' to specify different values for particular
|
|
kinds of files. Run `configure --help' for a list of the directories
|
|
you can set and what kinds of files go in them.
|
|
|
|
If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed
|
|
with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the
|
|
option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.
|
|
|
|
Optional Features
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to
|
|
`configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package.
|
|
They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE
|
|
is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System). The
|
|
`README.md' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the
|
|
package recognizes.
|
|
|
|
For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually
|
|
find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't,
|
|
you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and
|
|
`--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations.
|
|
|
|
Specifying the System Type
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
There may be some features `configure' cannot figure out automatically,
|
|
but needs to determine by the type of machine the package will run on.
|
|
Usually, assuming the package is built to be run on the _same_
|
|
architectures, `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints a
|
|
message saying it cannot guess the machine type, give it the
|
|
`--build=TYPE' option. TYPE can either be a short name for the system
|
|
type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name which has the form:
|
|
|
|
CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM
|
|
|
|
where SYSTEM can have one of these forms:
|
|
|
|
OS KERNEL-OS
|
|
|
|
See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field. If
|
|
`config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't
|
|
need to know the machine type.
|
|
|
|
If you are _building_ compiler tools for cross-compiling, you should
|
|
use the option `--target=TYPE' to select the type of system they will
|
|
produce code for.
|
|
|
|
If you want to _use_ a cross compiler, that generates code for a
|
|
platform different from the build platform, you should specify the
|
|
"host" platform (i.e., that on which the generated programs will
|
|
eventually be run) with `--host=TYPE'.
|
|
|
|
Sharing Defaults
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share, you
|
|
can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives default
|
|
values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'.
|
|
`configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then
|
|
`PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists. Or, you can set the
|
|
`CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script.
|
|
A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script.
|
|
|
|
Defining Variables
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
Variables not defined in a site shell script can be set in the
|
|
environment passed to `configure'. However, some packages may run
|
|
configure again during the build, and the customized values of these
|
|
variables may be lost. In order to avoid this problem, you should set
|
|
them in the `configure' command line, using `VAR=value'. For example:
|
|
|
|
./configure CC=/usr/local2/bin/gcc
|
|
|
|
causes the specified `gcc' to be used as the C compiler (unless it is
|
|
overridden in the site shell script).
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, this technique does not work for `CONFIG_SHELL' due to
|
|
an Autoconf bug. Until the bug is fixed you can use this workaround:
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash /bin/bash ./configure CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash
|
|
|
|
`configure' Invocation
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
`configure' recognizes the following options to control how it operates.
|
|
|
|
`--help'
|
|
`-h'
|
|
Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit.
|
|
|
|
`--version'
|
|
`-V'
|
|
Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure'
|
|
script, and exit.
|
|
|
|
`--cache-file=FILE'
|
|
Enable the cache: use and save the results of the tests in FILE,
|
|
traditionally `config.cache'. FILE defaults to `/dev/null' to
|
|
disable caching.
|
|
|
|
`--config-cache'
|
|
`-C'
|
|
Alias for `--cache-file=config.cache'.
|
|
|
|
`--quiet'
|
|
`--silent'
|
|
`-q'
|
|
Do not print messages saying which checks are being made. To
|
|
suppress all normal output, redirect it to `/dev/null' (any error
|
|
messages will still be shown).
|
|
|
|
`--srcdir=DIR'
|
|
Look for the package's source code in directory DIR. Usually
|
|
`configure' can determine that directory automatically.
|
|
|
|
`configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options. Run
|
|
`configure --help' for more details.
|
|
|
