README file for Packaging Notes

The ZooKeeper project publishes releases as tarballs. For ZooKeeper packages specific to your OS (such as rpm and deb), consider using Apache Bigtop:

http://bigtop.apache.org/

Requirements

• you need maven to build the java code
• gcc, cppunit, openssl and python-setuptools are required to build C and python bindings (only needed when using -Pfull-build). Cyrus SASL is optional, but recommended for a maximally functional client.

On RHEL machine:

yum install cppunit
yum install python-setuptools
yum install openssl openssl-devel
yum install cyrus-sasl-md5 cyrus-sasl-gssapi cyrus-sasl-devel

On Ubuntu (in case of 16.4+):

apt-get install libcppunit-dev
apt-get install python-setuptools python2.7-dev
apt-get install openssl libssl-dev
apt-get install libsasl2-modules-gssapi-mit libsasl2-modules libsasl2-dev

Package build command (using maven)

Commands to clean everything and build the tarball package without executing the tests: mvn clean install -DskipTests

zookeeper-assembly/target/apache-zookeeper-<version>-bin.tar.gz tarball file structure layout:

• /bin - User executables
• /conf - Configuration files
• /lib - ZooKeeper JAR files and all the required java library dependencies
• /docs - Documents

Beside the binary tarball, you can find the whole original source project packaged into: zookeeper-assembly/target/apache-zookeeper-<version>.tar.gz

Building the C client (using maven)

To also build the C client, you need to activate the full-build profile:

mvn clean -Pfull-build
mvn install -Pfull-build -DskipTests

Optional parameters you might consider when using maven: - -Pfull-build - activates the full-build profile, causing the C client to be built - -DskipTests - this parameter will skip both java and C++ unit test execution during the build - -Pc-test-coverage - activates the test coverage calculation during the execution of C client tests - -Dc-client-openssl - specify ssl support and openssl library location. Default value: yes, resulting in the autodetection of the openssl library. If the openssl library will not be detected, then a warning will be shown and the C client will be compiled without SSL support. Use -Dc-client-openssl=no to explicitly disable SSL feature in C client. Or use -Dc-client-openssl=/path/to/openssl/ if you want to use a non-default / specific openssl library location. - -Dc-client-sasl - specify SASL support and Cyrus SASL 1.x library location. Works similarly to the c-client-openssl flag above (yes, no, or path).

Please note: if you don't provide the -Pfull-build parameter, then the C client will not be built, the C client tests will not be executed and the previous C client builds will no be cleaned up (e.g. with simply using mvn clean).

The compiled C client can be found here: - zookeeper-client/zookeeper-client-c/target/c/bin - User executable - zookeeper-client/zookeeper-client-c/target/c/lib - Native libraries - zookeeper-client/zookeeper-client-c/target/c/include/zookeeper - Native library headers

The same folders gets archived to the zookeeper-assembly/target/apache-zookeeper-<version>-lib.tar.gz file, assuming you activated the full-build maven profile.
