Scribe Formula for Homebrew

This repository contains a Homebrew formula, that uses a Swiftype custom fork of now abandoned Facebook project to build Scribe logging server on MacOS X using CMake and CLang compiler.

How to Use This Formula?

To use this custom repository, you need to tap into it using the following command:

    $ brew tap swiftype/scribe
    Cloning into '/usr/local/Library/Taps/swiftype/homebrew-scribe'...
    remote: Counting objects: 3, done.
    remote: Compressing objects: 100% (2/2), done.
    remote: Total 3 (delta 0), reused 3 (delta 0)
    Unpacking objects: 100% (3/3), done.
    Checking connectivity... done.
    Tapped 1 formula

When this is done, you could check to make sure your Homebrew actually sees our formula:

    $ brew info scribe
    scribe: stable 68, HEAD
    https://github.com/facebookarchive/scribe
    /usr/local/Cellar/scribe/68 (12 files, 716K) *
      Built from source
    From: https://github.com/swiftype/homebrew-scribe/blob/master/scribe.rb
    ==> Dependencies
    Build: cmake ✔
    Required: libevent ✔, thrift ✔

Now you are ready to install Scribe server on your machine:

    $ brew install scribe
    ...
    ...
    🍺  /usr/local/Cellar/scribe/68: 12 files, 716K, built in 21 seconds

Done! Now you can run Scribe like the following:

    $ scribe -h
    [Thu Aug  7 23:57:13 2014] "setrlimit error (setting max fd size)"
    Usage: scribe [-p port] [-c config_file]

Please note, that we do not provide any startup scripts or initial configs for the service, you will need to start it with whatever configuration you like. For more information on how to configure or run Scribe, please check their official documentation.

Troubleshooting

If you experience any issues with the build, first thing to try should be brew update to make sure you have the latest versions of homebrew formulas.

If your Scribe installation still fails, there is a chance you already had a bit outdated version of thrift installed. Please try to uninstall thrift (brew uninstall thrift until all versions of it are gone) and then try to install scribe again (it will install the latest thrift version as a dependency).

If you still could not install Scribe, please file an issue with this repo and include the output of the following commands:

• uname -a
• brew info scribe
• brew info thrift
• brew install -vd scribe
