How to build examples

[Nandika Jayawardana <ja...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,
I am new to traffic server. I checked out the source code from svn and want
to build the examples. Can someone point to me the instructions on how to
build them.  In the README.internal file located in example directory, it
says to run
autoconf configure.internal.in > configure.internal  command. However, I
cannot find configure.internal.in file anywhere.
Thanks in advance.


Thanks
Nandika

The example directory are for "plugins" examples, you don't need to 
build those (and, we haven't cleaned all that up). The procedure to 
build Traffic Server is

autoreconf -i
./configure
gmake
sudo gmake install

(probably need the sudo at the last step there, to install with 
appropriate privs).


If building from  source distribution file ("tar-ball"), skip the first 
step, i.e. go straight to ./configure. Also, some distros might need 
options to ./configure (try ./configure --help for details), and you 
will need to make sure appropriate "devel" packages are installed on the 
box (see the Confluence Wiki pages at 
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TS/Development+Process).
