I just cloned the repo into ~/distros/build-couch and ran rake.

Hi,

Is it possible/advisable to use build-couchdb in a staging/production server?

If so, what does one have to change in the installation steps so that it works like any other DBMS? I'm particularly interested on starting up couchdb automatically on server boot, and being installed in a "proper" folder - not /home/billy/

I somehow doubt this can be accomplished by simply doing sudo rake instead of rake :)

Regards,

Enrique

I'm trying to use build-couchdb for building older release versions (e.g., 1.1.1 and 1.0.3), but can't seem to get a clean checkout:

Build CouchDB commit: 14effdd48c87443f06a84d6873dc029109ca48fc

Is it a matter of picking the right repo - I tried git://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/couchdb.git tags/1.1.1 as well. Not sure where the issue is - any help is appreciated.

I'm trying to get a more recent CouchDB build going on an EC2 instance (ami-af93cdea) again. It's dying towards the end of SpiderMonkey compilation for lack of position independent code:

The odd thing is that most of the compile lines I see in the build log (https://gist.github.com/1878200) include -fPIC...any idea what might be going on? (I haven't updated gcc/make/libtool/etc. since the last time I built CouchDB a while back, I'll retry once more with those upgraded but kind of running out of steam here...)

Is there a way I can create an rpm package for a particular CouchDB version? I do not want to pollute my production box with all the dev-related (e.g., compiler) stuff.

Or is there any alternate mechanism?

Thanks,
Sanchit Bahal

It look like the github mirror is not updated anymore.
From CouchDB home page the new repository is at http://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/couchdb.git
Taken from http://couchdb.apache.org/community/code.html

After building, and trying to run couchdb on 10.6.8 I get this error:

I am sure it has to do with this

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.couchdb.user/6326

Not sure how to get the proper erlang and icu flags set in the build-couchdb script.

OS - Mint Lisa
ruby - 1.8-full installed
Erlang - 1:14.b.2 installed

Followed steps and it all worked out successfully until the rake build.

Hello,

From the READ.md file, it is not clear to me on how to build a specific version of the Couchdb.
My second problem is how to run multiple Couchdb instances on the same machine.

Thanks,
Alex

I'm trying to build CouchDB 1.0.2 on Ubuntu 10.04 using:

$ rake git="git://git.apache.org/couchdb.git tags/1.0.2"
$ . build/env.sh 
$ build/bin/couchdb -V
couchdb - Apache CouchDB 1.0.2
...
$ build/bin/couchdb
{"init terminating in do_boot",{undef,[{couch,start,[]},{init,start_it,1},{init,start_em,1}]}}

Crash dump was written to: erl_crash.dump
init terminating in do_boot ()

The error I'm getting is described here: http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Error_messages#Missing_OpenSSL -- so I checked that libssl-dev and erlang-ssl are installed. Local ssl seems to have compiled fine:

$ ls build/lib/erlang/lib/ssl-4.1.5/
ebin  examples  priv  src

Any ideas?

i only see examples of installing plugins.
now that build-couch installs 1.2 i would really prefer to install 1.1.1

I realize that 12.04 is not officially supported yet, but it's release is coming up soon and I'd like to get this working. When I run rake, the process tries to install zlib1g-dev, which is already installed on my system. Rake then aborts. I ran it with trace and it complains about bin/makeinfo not being there.

Hi,

Just a really tiny suggestion: it would be easier to change protocol from git:// to http:// cause some working environment only allows http and https access to the Internet :)

Hi,

I've been using your guides to install couchdb but on ubuntu is the "help2man" package missing. From other ticket I see this is a n issue on centos too.

Can you include it in your readme file installation instructions?

Thanks,
Michael

rake.log: http://pastebin.com/d98nVw3u

The line that stands out to me is the first STDERR line at the group towards the bottom:

STDERR make[2]: execvp: ../../tests/autom4te: Permission denied

I'm running rake as root here. Hmm... could it be a problem with SELinux?

On Ubuntu-11.10, if I uninstall libssl0.9.8 package, couchdb fails to start with the following error:

[error] [<0.93.0>] Unable to load crypto library. Failed with error:
"load_failed, Failed to load NIF library /home/boutique/CouchDB/lib/erlang/lib/crypto-2.0.4/priv/lib/crypto: 'libcrypto.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory'"
OpenSSL might not be installed on this system.

Note that Ubuntu-11.10 uses libssl1.0.0 which is installed as a dependency of libssl-dev.

If I try to build-couchdb from a directory with an apostrophe in its name, it fails:

Workaround: build from a different directory.

The list of packages that need to be installed on Ubuntu 10.04LTS should also include 'ed', since /bin/ed is needed to compile Erlang/OTP and it's apparently not included in a default system.

Hello! I'm getting the same bug that I see seems to indicate that the script doesn't understand what distribution I'm running. I'm using http://archlinuxarm.org/ , a version of Arch Linux.

What follows is my entire rake.log file. I'm happy to provide any other needed files. Thanks for your help!

First of all: Thx very much! Worked like a charm on Ubuntu 11.04. Love it!

1 question (is this the right place to ask?):

If I want to move the resulting couchdb instance (executables and database) I need to adjust the couchdb shell script and the default.ini and local.ini right?

Missing anything?

Background of my question:
I'm toying with wrapping CouchDB into an OSGi plug-in, so it can be easily installed into OSGi containers (TomEE, Websphere, Domino, Notes etc.) It is about 100 times easier to get an admin to deploy an OSGI plug-in than to do a "classic" install

It appears to be unable to detect my distro (LinuxMint 11). The detect_distro() function might be better served raising an error if it can't detect a distro...?

I do have the lsb-release file:

$ cat /etc/lsb-release 
DISTRIB_ID=LinuxMint
DISTRIB_RELEASE=11
DISTRIB_CODENAME=katya
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 11 Katya"

Updating distros.rb now.... will report back with a pull if it works

On a local CentOS distribution, then running:
git clone git://github.com/iriscouch/build-couchdb
cd build-couchdb
git submodule init
git submodule update

I get this error:
fatal: unable to write new index file
Unable to checkout 'b6dc1a844eab061d0a7153d46e7e68296f15a504' in submodule path 'dependencies/otp'

Any help is appreciated.

Hi there,

I am new to couchdb and wanted to build from source. I tried running the rake command but it aborts w/ config.log: no such file or directory. any clue as to what is happening? (I ran the dependency installs and simply followed the instructions).

When trying to build build-couchdb with rake inside a folder-structure containing whitespaces (e.g.: /home/mat/studium/ws11-12/pst/bug test/build-couchdb ) rake aborts with the following output:

== Output of config.log ==
cat config.log
cat: config.log: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
rake aborted!
Command failed with status (1): [cat config.log...]

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

When removing the whitespace from the everything works again. Seems a little error when using mkdir. Rake tries to create two folders without enclosing quotation-marks. There might be some more issues like that inside the script. Happened on both Ubuntu 10.04 x586 and a Mac OSX Snow Leopard.

Nonetheless: Thanks for this great project.
It really rocks!

I am on Ubuntu 8.04

I built CouchDB using:

rake plugin="git://github.com/couchbase/geocouch origin/couchdb1.2.x"

When I go to start it, I get the following stacktrace. Do I still need to follow some of the GeoCouch setup documentation, or should it just work™?

Crash dump was written to: erl_crash.dump
init terminating in do_boot ()

by default port 80 is not allowed to be used by applications (at least on ubuntu 11.10 desktop edition, 64bit)

these commands need to be run to enable port 80 useage:
replace with the ubuntu user name.

sudo setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep /home/<user>/build-couchdb/build/lib/erlang/erts-*/bin/beam
sudo setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep /home/<user>/build-couchdb/build/lib/erlang/erts-*/bin/beam.smp

Maybe some sort of chdir block before that task will return to the original location when it's time to run ./configure

Reporting it here to be sure it does not get lost.
On Ubuntu 11.04, the build does fail if the libmozjs185-dev package is installed. Removing it, solves the problem.

Reported by Daniel Itaborai at
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/couchdb-user/201109.mbox/%3CCALxWR-mJksbr7R=PFntwTnYsMgizU-w=E5nZHGJwYyCZkk9GCg@mail.gmail.com%3E

I installed the necessary stuff (at least whatever I think is necessary) using ipkg.
git clone worked.

Rake terminates very fast. Probably an error on my side. But I don't exactly understand what dependency might be missing.

I think it's my own git configuration of autoclrf such that there are lots of crlf conversion warning in checkout files:

warning: CRLF will be replaced by LF in ...

Perhaps it's beyond the scope of this project, but I would love to be able to distribute couchdb using zero install. One property that is essential for 0install feeds (packages) is that they be relocatable once built.

After a fresh build, I cound 119 instances of /path/to/build hardcoded in the build/ directory. I don't know how many of them would prevent couchdb running if it were relocated, but I'm guessing it's quite a few.

I know you're using autotools, and I know that relocatable macros exist (e.g AX_COMPUTE_RELATIVE_PATHS), but that's about the limit of my applicable knowledge here. Is it likely to be even remotely possible to make couchdb relocatable?

I'm trying to build couchdb on a CentOS 5.5 and it doesn't work (wouldn't be here if it did heh? :) )

By digging in the rake.log, I'm able to see some "problems"; I don't know if they're fatal or not, but the last one I assume is since that's where it fails. Here's the STDERR output from the rake.log (interwoven in STDOUT)

Seems it is complaining that libtool isn't installed... but it is. I might of missed something, so the full log is available by e-mail on request.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

I'm getting an error when trying to install geocouch:

rake git="git://github.com/vmx/couchdb geocouch"

I get the following error:

Currently it appears that everything hardcodes the pathing during the build process. So you can't move the build. It has to be where you want it to live forever before you build it.

Some kind of way to export so people can download and build from a tarball instead of Git

The build failed when trying to execute the following:

mv dependencies/autoconf-2.62/man/config.sub.1.t dependencies/autoconf-2.62/man/config.sub.1

It worked after I did:

cp dependencies/autoconf-2.62/man/config.sub.1 dependencies/autoconf-2.62/man/config.sub.1.t

Should this file be there?

Found this issue, which seems to be similar:
#5

But I don't think that's it, as I only just cloned the git repository from GitHub this morning, so the fix from that issue must be in the code already. Any ideas that might be causing this?

I think it's my own git configuration of autoclrf such that there are lots of crlf conversion warning in checkout files:

warning: CRLF will be replaced by LF in ...

rake fails trying to install libcap2-bin on Ubuntu 11.04.

The work-around is to manually download the .deb from from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/i386/libcap2-bin/1:2.20-1, do an apt-get install, and then run rake.

I followed the instuctions but it doesnt build itself

any suggestions are dearly appreciated

Great project! Saves me a ton of time.

When or how can I get this to install version 1.1.1 - I need some of the bug fixes in that version that was released a couple of days ago but build-couchdb is still building 1.1.0.

Thanks so much,
Shawn
