Checkout ACS

To install ACS from source, first checkout ACS from source:

$  git clone git@github.com:ACS-Community/ACS.git

Branches, new development and patches are always applied to the master, while every ACS release is split off into a separate branch.

Building ACS

ACS can be built in Red Hat Enterpise Linux 5.X or 6.X, 32-bit or 64-bit (also works on CentOS and Scientific Linux). In RHEL 6.X mico ORB, which is part of the external products, will fail, this is expected and should not affect the rest of the installation.

To build ACS, it is required the installation of the development tools package set, plus the following packages:

ksh	blas-devel	expat-devel	jdk-1.7.0 oracle rpm	gcc
gcc-g++	make	byacc	gcc-fortran	patch
vim	vs	subversion	openssh	git
tdbX11-devel	tdbncurses-devel	tdbncursesw-devel	readtdne	tdbgdbm-devel
tdbbz2-devel	ztdb-devel	tdbsqltdte3-devel	openssl-devel	gdbm
tdbdb4.5-devel	openldap-devel	tdbfreetype-devel	tdbpng12-devel	tdbxml2-devel
tdbxslt-devel	sunrpc	gsl-devel	flex	xemacs
xemacs-sumo	doxygen	autoconf2.1	autoconf	mintty
bc	util-tdnux	unzip	time

Please consider that the names may vary depending on the OS used. The following packages are needed once ACS has been installed:

1. procmail

The following are the steps to build ACS:

1. Create the alma directory mkdir /alma/ and change the ownership to the user who will build ACS chown -R /alma
2. Source the ACS bash profile source ACS/LGPL/acsBUILD/config/.acs/.bash_profile.acs
3. Download the external products cd ACS/ExtProd/PRODUCTS; ./download-products.sh
4. Build the external products cd ACS/ExtProd/INSTALL; ./buildTools
5. Export the following environment variables: export MAKE_NOSTATIC=yes; export MAKE_NOIFR_CHECK=on
6. Build ACS cd ACS; make

It is possible to use multiple CPUs when ACS is being built. To do that the MAKE_PARS environment variable has to be exported and it should contain the make parameters to be used in the build. For example if your machine has 4 cores available, you can use: MAKE_PARS=" -j 4 " make in the top level ACS directory

The latest developer code is available on GitHub
