It is +a complete autotools based build system which demonstrates the +required changes in configure.ac, Makefile.am etc to successfuly +detect for and build an application against libgfapi. + +There are two approaches to building a libgfapi based application: + +1. In the presence of pkg-config in your build system. +This is the recommended approach which is also used in this example. +For this approach to work, you need to build glusterfs by passing +--pkgconfigdir=/usr/lib64/pkgconfig (or the appropriate directory) +in your distro. This already happens if you build RPMs with the +glusterfs.spec provided in glusterfs.git. You will also need to +install glusterfs-api RPM. + +2. In the absence of pkg-config in your build system. +Make sure your LDFLAGS includes -L/path/to/lib where libgfapi.so is +installed and -I/path/to/include/glusterfs where the 'api' directory +containing the headers are available. |
