Description
|
||
|
|
===========
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Installs packages required for compiling C software from source. Use
|
||
|
|
this cookbook if you wish to compile C programs, or install RubyGems
|
||
|
|
with native extensions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Requirements
|
||
|
|
============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Chef version 0.10.10+ and Ohai 0.6.12+ are required.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Platform
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Supported platforms by platform family:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Linux (fedora redhat centos ubuntu debian amazon scientific)
|
||
|
|
* Darwin (`mac_os_x` 10.6+)
|
||
|
|
* SmartOs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Cookbooks
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Requires `pkgin` cookbook on SmartOS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Attributes
|
||
|
|
==========
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `node['build_essential']['compiletime']` - Whether the resources in
|
||
|
|
the default recipe should be configured at the "Compile" phase of the
|
||
|
|
Chef run. Defaults to false, see __Usage__ for more information.
|
||
|
|
* `node['build_essential']['osx']['gcc_installer_url']` - The URL of
|
||
|
|
the OS X GCC package installer (.pkg).
|
||
|
|
* `node['build_essential']['osx']['gcc_installer_checksum']` - The
|
||
|
|
SHA256 checksum of the OS X GCC installer.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Recipes
|
||
|
|
=======
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This cookbook has one recipe, default.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On Linux platforms (see __Platform__ above for a supported list of
|
||
|
|
families), packages required to build C source projects are installed.
|
||
|
|
This includes GCC, make, autconf and others. On Debian-family
|
||
|
|
distributions, the apt-cache may need to be updated, especially during
|
||
|
|
compile time installation. See __Usage__ for further information.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On Mac OS X, the GCC standalone installer by Kenneth Reitz is
|
||
|
|
installed. Note that this is *not* the Xcode CLI package, as that does
|
||
|
|
not include all programs and headers required to build some common
|
||
|
|
GNU-style C projects, such as those that are available from projects
|
||
|
|
such as MacPorts or Homebrew. Changing the attributes for the GCC
|
||
|
|
installer URL and checksum to the Xcode values may work, but this is
|
||
|
|
untested.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Usage
|
||
|
|
=====
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Simply include the `build-essential` and the required tools will be
|
||
|
|
installed to the system, and later recipes will be able to compile
|
||
|
|
software from C source code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For RubyGems that include native C extensions you wish to use with
|
||
|
|
Chef, you should do two things.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
0. Ensure that the C libraries, include files and other assorted "dev"
|
||
|
|
type packages are installed. You should do this in the compile phase
|
||
|
|
after the build-essential recipe.
|
||
|
|
1. Use the `chef_gem` resource in your recipes. This requires Chef version 0.10.10+.
|
||
|
|
2. Set the `compiletime` attribute in roles where such recipes are
|
||
|
|
required. This will ensure that the build tools are available to
|
||
|
|
compile the RubyGems' extensions, as `chef_gem` happens during the
|
||
|
|
compile phase, too.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example installation of a devel package at compile-time in a recipe:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
package "mypackage-dev" do
|
||
|
|
action :nothing
|
||
|
|
end.run_action(:install)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example use of `chef_gem`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
chef_gem "mygem"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example role:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
name "myapp"
|
||
|
|
run_list(
|
||
|
|
"recipe[build-essential]",
|
||
|
|
"recipe[myapp]"
|
||
|
|
)
|
||
|
|
default_attributes(
|
||
|
|
"build_essential" => {
|
||
|
|
"compiletime" => true
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The compile time option (via the attribute) is to ensure that the
|
||
|
|
proper packages are available at the right time in the Chef run. It is
|
||
|
|
recommended that the build-essential recipe appear early in the run
|
||
|
|
list.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Chef wiki has documentation on
|
||
|
|
[the anatomy of a chef run](http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Anatomy+of+a+Chef+Run).

Limitations
|
||
|
|
===========
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is not in the scope of this cookbook to handle installing the
|
||
|
|
required headers for individual software projects in order to compile
|
||
|
|
them, or to compile RubyGems with native C extensions. You should
|
||
|
|
create a cookbook for handling that.
