Introduction
This chapter describes:
- how
to build the Feature Data Object binaries from the source files
and install them on a Linux machine
- the
build tools that you must install to do the build
- the
database clients that you must install to do the build
NoteThe debug binaries built
by this process include the unit test executables.
NoteThe Linux system documented
here is Red Hat ES 3.0.
A briefer description of the build process is
in OpenSourceBuild_README.txtfile
in the build directory.
Whether you intend to build applications on
top of FDO or modify the FDO code itself, you must build the binaries.
