Thanks for bundling libcurl.
However, now I'm having another possibly related issue on Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Intel).

docs/examples/Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp'
buildconf: libtool version 1.5.22 found.
i686-apple-darwin9.8.0 requires libtool 1.5.26 or newer installed.

I've just got a standard XCode installation. I'm not sure where this dependency is coming from.

Here's a full trace, just trying to build libcurl

The rake process hangs on installing libcap2-bin if /etc/pam.d/common-* has been modified. The libcap installer launches an actual menu to select what to do, but rake doesn't switch to it, it just blocks.

Quick fix is to install libcap2-bin separately.

"rake aborted!
undefined method `mktmpdir' for Dir:Class
(See full trace by running task with --trace)"

This happened on Mac OS 10.5.8, withXcode 3.1.4 (but first with Xcode 3.1.2).

Full trace below. Any insights?

When building multiple versions, Erlang is all recompiled every time. Avoiding that would be great :)

This is just a "parent case" for the issues I needed to work around to get CouchDB built for PowerPC under Mac OS X. Most of the issues (http://www.extinguishedscholar.com/wpglob/?p=815, filed as issues #10, #11 and #12) are related more to dependencies on Leopard being older versions than the architecture itself.

Hi,

I'm trying to build CouchDB with help of build-couchdb. Everything seems to work, but when I query some view, CouchDB starts to throw out a lot of "reserved slot index out of range" and "{os_process_error, {exit_status,1}}".

Here's my procedure:

. build/env.sh
couchdb

I'm using IrisCouch's fork, the CouchDB version is 1.1.0, Erlang is R14B03 and Mac OS 10.6.7.

When trying to build Couch with an older version of Ruby (Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard ships with 1.8.6) the build fails due to a missing Dir mktmpdir method. If this dependency (hopefully no others are hiding after this one?) could be eliminated it would be much easier to build Couch on slightly older platforms/distros.

I cloned build-couchdb, did the basic setup and ran 'rake' successfully. Trying to build a different couchdb branch and putting the output in a different build directory caused a failure during configure.

The commands I ran are:

git clone [email protected]:couchone/build-couchdb.git
cd build-couchdb
git submodule init
git submodule update
rake
rake git="git://github.com/fdmanana/couchdb btree_cache_and_doc_cache" couchdb_build=cache_btree_and_doc

The output around the failure is:

...

It should use "--prefix=/home/tim/c/build-couchdb/cache_btree_and_doc".

The first three lines shouldn't be there.

Just built couchdb on Mac OS 10.5.8, presumably successfully (no error message, although no glorious "All done, time to Relax" either ;-)

Attempt to launch it produces an error:

Apache CouchDB 1.0.1 (LogLevel=info) is starting.

I am open to suggestions...

The autoconf for CouchDB does not like the version of libcurl installed on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, and it is not obvious how to specify a custom path to a newer install in e.g. /usr/local. If this were bundled, CouchDB would be easier to build on older platforms.

I've followed the steps on couch.io for building without dependency hell on Debian Lenny 32-bit. However, this is a linux-vserver which runs on a 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 host system. Maybe the configure script is making the wrong assumptions about the word size?

In order to compile Couch on a 32-bit Leopard PowerPC machine, it is necessary to comment out the line in tasks/erlang.rake that reads: configure.push '--enable-darwin-64bit' if DISTRO[0] == :osx

packages = [ package_dep('/opt/csw/bin/gm4' => 'gm4' , :distros => [:solaris]),
package_dep('/opt/csw/bin/gsed' => 'gsed', :distros => [:solaris]) ]

needs to be in one line.
I have it fixed at https://github.com/livelycouch/build-couchdb

I'm not sure why this is happening. i did this on my laptop (ubuntu 10.10) and I believe that it installed 1.1.0.
today i did the install on my desktop (ubuntu 11.04) and it installed couchDB 1.0.2
