Serval DNA Build and Test ========================= [Serval Project][], October 2016 Supported Architectures ----------------------- These instructions will build [Serval DNA][] successfully for the following platforms: * Debian Linux, ix86 and x86\_64, kernel versions 2.6 to 4.6, using [gcc 4.4][] and later, [gcc 5][] and [gcc 6][] * Mac OS-X x86\_64, releases 10.7 “Lion” to 10.11 “El Capitan”, using [Xcode][] versions 3.2 to 8, and GNU tools available from [homebrew][] * Oracle SunOs 5.10 (Solaris), Sparc, using [gcc 4.4][] and GNU tools installed [Serval DNA][] also runs on the following platforms, to which these build instructions do not apply: * [Android 2.2 “Froyo”][], Arm, Linux kernels 2.6.x and 3.x, using [gcc 4.4][] supplied as part of [Android NDK][] Revision 7b * [OpenWRT][] (as used by the [Serval Mesh Extender][], the [Mesh Potato][], and the [Commotion Wireless][] project) Download -------- Serval DNA source code is available from the [serval-dna][] repository on GitHub. You can use [Git][] to download the latest version: $ cd $HOME/src $ git clone -q git://github.com/servalproject/serval-dna.git $ cd serval-dna $ Dependencies ------------ The dependencies for build are expressed in [configure.ac](./configure.ac). Most mandatory dependencies are present in the standard Linux development environment. Mandatory dependencies: * standard C library **libc** and standard headers * standard math library **libm** and headers `` `` * network services library **libnsl** and headers * dynamic link library **libdl** and header `` * Native Posix Threads Library **libpthread** and header `` * elliptic curve encryption library **libsodium** and header ``, version 1.0.2 or greater * on Solaris, the realtime library **librt** (for the `nanosleep()` function) * **autoconf** 2.67-2.69 (2.70 may work but has not been tested) * **automake** 1.15 The **libsodium** development files are available on Debian/Ubuntu systems in the `libsodium-dev` package. On other systems, like Mac OS-X, it must be compiled from source. The [Notes for Developers][] give more details. Optional: * Java compiler and SDK * ALSA sound library and headers (present on Linux, not on Android) Test dependencies: * bash 3.2.48 or later * GNU grep, sed and awk (on Mac OS-X and Solaris, as ggrep, gsed and gawk) * jq 1.3 or later * curl **Bash** and **curl** are both provided by the [XCode][] package for Mac OS X. **GNU grep**, **GNU sed**, **GNU awk** and **jq** can all be installed on Mac OS-X using the [homebrew][] package manager. The [Notes for Developers][] give more details. Build ----- To compile a native (ie, not cross-compiled) Serval DNA from source, run the following commands: $ cd $HOME/src/serval-dna $ autoreconf -f -i -I m4 $ ./configure $ make $ A successful session should appear something like: $ cd $HOME/src/serval-dna $ autoreconf -f -i -I m4 $ ./configure checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for gcc... gcc ... checking for library containing strlcpy... no configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating Makefile config.status: creating testconfig.sh $ make SERVALD CC conf.c SERVALD CC cli.c ... CC cli.c CC commandline.c ... LINK simulator SERVALD CC test_cli.c SERVALD CC log_context.c SERVALD CC log_stderr.c SERVALD CC context1.c LINK serval-tests $ On Solaris, the system `make` command may not be GNU Make, and the system `cc` command may not be GNU Gcc. The following may work: $ cd $HOME/src/serval-dna $ autoreconf -f -i -I m4 $ CC=gcc $ export CC $ ./configure $ gmake $ In the event of a build failure: * ensure that all the [dependencies](#dependencies) are present * consult the [Notes for Developers][] * as a last resort, [contact the Serval Project][] Built artifacts --------------- The build process produces the following artifacts: * **servald** is the main Serval DNA daemon executable. All the Serval DNA daemon code is statically linked into this executable, so it does not depend on any built Serval libraries. However, it is dynamically linked with the system libraries and with `libsodium.so`. * **servaldwrap** is a Serval DNA executable identical to *servald*, but dynamically linked with `libservald.so` instead of statically linked. This executable mainly exists to ensure that the shared library is always linkable. * **serval-tests** is an executable utility that performs various system tests such as memory speed, cryptographic speed, byte ordering, and configuration parsing. These tests are not normally required in a deployed system, so are provided in a separate executable in order to keep the size of the *servald* executable to a minimum. * **libservald.a** is a static library containing the complete executable code of the Serval DNA daemon. An executable (such as *servald*) can be built with any desired subset of Serval functions by linking in only the required parts of this library using the *features* mechanism described in [feature.h](./feature.h). * **libservald.so** is a dynamic library containing the complete executable code of the Serval DNA daemon, including [JNI][] entry points. The Serval DNA Java API, which is used by [batphone][], and the *servaldwrap* executable both use this dynamic library. * **directory_service** is the executable for the [Serval Infrastructure][] daemon. * **libservalclient.a** and **libservalclient.so** are static and dynamic libraries implementing the client end of the interface with the servald daemon, which includes the [MDP API][], a subset of the [CLI API][], and functions for starting and stopping the daemon. The dynamic library is linked into the [batphone][] Java executable at run time and contains [JNI][] entry points to these APIs. * **libmonitorclient.a** and **libmonitorclient.so** are static and dynamic libraries implementing the client end of the monitor interface with the servald daemon. The dynamic library is linked into the [batphone][] Java executable at run time and contains [JNI][] entry points to functions for managing the client end of a monitor connection with the servald daemon. *The monitor interface is deprecated and will eventually be replaced by a set of equivalent [MDP][] services that can be accessed using libservalclient.* * **fakeradio** is an executable utility used by test scripts to simulate the serial interface to the [RFD900][] packet radio used in the [Serval Mesh Extender][] * **simulator** is an executable utility used by test scripts for simulating wireless packet transmission under different conditions. * **tfw_createfile** is an executable utility needed by test scripts for creating large data files with unique, non-repeating content. Test scripts ------------ After building the native `servald` executable, run all the tests with the following command: $ ./tests/all 1 [PASS.] (logging) By default, only errors and warnings are logged to stderr 2 [PASS.] (logging) Configure all messages logged to stderr 3 [PASS.] (logging) Configure no messages logged to stderr 4 [PASS.] (logging) By Default, all messages are appended to a configured file ... 375 [PASS.] (meshmsjava) Java API send MeshMS message from unknown identity 376 [PASS.] (meshmsjava) Java API MeshMS mark all conversations read 377 [PASS.] (meshmsjava) Java API MeshMS mark all conversations read 378 [PASS.] (meshmsjava) Java API MeshMS mark a message as read 378 tests, 378 pass, 0 fail, 0 error $ Every test run writes log files into the [testlog/all](./testlog/all/) directory (relative to the current working directory), deleting any logs from the previous run. See [Serval DNA Testing](./doc/Testing.md) for more information on running and developing test scripts. Configure --------- Before running `servald`, it must be configured correctly. The [doc/Servald-Configuration](./doc/Servald-Configuration.md) document describes the configuration of Serval DNA in detail. About the examples ------------------ The examples in this document are [Bourne shell][] commands, using standard quoting and variable expansion. Commands issued by the user are prefixed with the shell prompt `$` to distinguish them from the output of the command. Single and double quotes around arguments are part of the shell syntax, so are not seen by the command. Lines ending in backslash `\` continue the command on the next line. The directory paths used in the examples are for illustrative purposes only, and may need to be changed for your particular circumstances. ----- **Copyright 2013-2015 Serval Project Inc.** **Copyright 2016 Flinders University** ![CC-BY-4.0](./cc-by-4.0.png) This document is available under the [Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence][CC BY 4.0].
