-If using git (not the tarball), build the "configure" file:
- autoreconf --install
+INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
-To then build from source:
- ./configure
- make
+1. Generate the configure script. If you downloaded the source from
+git you will need to run run autoreconf to generate the configure script
+as shown below. If you are building from a tarball you may skip this step.
+
+ $ autoreconf --install
+
+2. Run the configure script. If you want to alter Kea's installation path, or
+need to include capabilities (e.g. enabling MySQL or PostgreSQL) you will need
+to specify these as options to the configure script (run ./configure -h for
+list of options).
+
+ $ ./configure
+
+If your environment is missing dependencies, the configure script will exit
+with error and should emit sufficient information to guide you on how to
+proceed. A detailed account of the configure process is captured in
+./config.log.
+
+3. Build it. Once you've successfully configured the source tree, run "make" to
+build it. You may wish to include the -j<n> command line option to specify
+parallel execution to speed things along:
+
+ $ make
+
+4. Install it by running:
+
+ $ make install
Kea depends on C++ compiler, make, libtool, boost (at least includes, but many
OSes require boost-system library), log4cplus and one crypto library (either
OpenSSL or Botan) for compilation. Optional backends (MySQL, PostgreSQL and
Cassandra) have additional dependencies. For detailed installation directions,
-see the guide at doc/guide/kea-guide.txt or doc/guide/kea-guide.html.
+see the guide at doc/guide/kea-guide.txt or doc/guide/kea-guide.html or on
+the Kea wiki: http://kea.isc.org/docs/kea-guide.html#installation
You can find user-contributed OS-specific build/installation
instructions on the Kea wiki: http://kea.isc.org/wiki/Install
