Building from source

This document is about how to build and test SplinterDB itself.

To integrate SplinterDB into another application, see Usage.

On Linux

Builds are known to work on Ubuntu using recent versions of GCC and Clang.

Tooling

In CI, we test against GCC 9 and Clang 13.

We use clang-format-13 for code formatting.

To install clang-13 tools on Ubuntu Linux, do this:

$ wget -O - https://apt.llvm.org/llvm-snapshot.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -

$ sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://apt.llvm.org/focal/ llvm-toolchain-focal-13 main'

$ sudo apt-get install -y clang-13 clang-format-13

Full build

Here are the steps to do a full-build of the library, run smoke tests, and to install the shared libraries:

$ export COMPILER=gcc    # or clang-13
$ sudo apt update -y
$ sudo apt install -y libaio-dev libconfig-dev libxxhash-dev $COMPILER
$ export CC=$COMPILER
$ export LD=$COMPILER
$ make
$ make run-tests
$ sudo make install

Additional options controlling builds can be found by running

$ make help

Code formatting

Our CI system enforces code formatting rules. If you're making code changes that you wish to contribute back to the project, please format the code using the format-check.sh script:

$ format-check.sh fixall

Files will be edited in place.

On other platforms

Currently SplinterDB only works on Linux. Some SplinterDB developers work in a Linux virtual machine. You may also have success with a Docker-based workflow.
