If you want to rebuild Elektra from Debian unstable or
our repositories, add a deb-src entry to /etc/apt/sources.list
and then run:
apt-get source -b elektra
To build Debian Packages from the source you might want to use:
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -sa
(You need to be in the Debian branch, see GIT)
First follow the steps in COMPILE.
To install Elektra use:
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig # See troubleshooting below
To uninstall Elektra use (will not be very clean,
e.g. it will not remove directories and *.pyc files):
sudo make uninstall
sudo ldconfig
or in the build directory (will not honor DESTDIR!):
xargs rm < install_manifest.txt
First follow the steps in COMPILE.
Then use:
cpack
which should create a package for distributions where a Generator is implemented. See this cmake file for available Generators and send a merge request for your system.
If you encounter the problem that the library can not be found (output like this)
kdb: error while loading shared libraries: libelektra-core.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
or:
kdb: error while loading shared libraries: libelektratools.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
you need to place a configuration file at /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ (e.g. /etc/ld.so.conf.d/elektra.conf).
Add the path where the library has been installed
/usr/lib/local/
and run ldconfig as root.
For some of the plugins and tools that ship with Elektra, additional installation manuals have been written. You can find them in the tutorial overview.
