Compiling Oracle BerkeleyDB-XML on Ubuntu: Unterschied zwischen den Versionen

Version vom 8. Januar 2009, 13:56 Uhr

This HowTo refers to release 2.4.16 of Oracle's BerkeleyDB/XML. As documented by Zeth, there are still some errors in the distribution package which prevent it from compiling fine on Ubuntu. The best way is to patch the installation package with a patch file which I have produced. Proceed as below:

• download dbxml version 2.4.16 from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/berkeley-db/xml/index.html
• download the patch file from here
• tar xvfz dbxml-2.4.16.tar.gz
• chmod -R u+w dbxml-2.4.16
• cd dbxml-2.4.16
• patch -p1 <../dbxml-2.4.16-patch

The result should look like this:

patching file dbxml/dist/configure
patching file dbxml/dist/swig/dbxml_python.i
patching file dbxml/examples/python/examples.py
patching file dbxml/src/python/dbxml.py
patching file dbxml/src/python/setup.py

Then you can proceed as described by Zeth. Enter the following commands:

• cd dbxml/build_unix
• CFLAGS="-DSWIG_PYTHON_NO_USE_GIL" ../dist/configure --with-berkeleydb=/usr/lib/ --with-xqilla=/usr/lib/ --with-xerces=/usr/
• make
• sudo make install

Now you should have a working DBXML installation in /usr/local/BerkeleyDBXML.2.4. Now go back to the source directory.

• cd dbxml-2.4.16/
• cd dbxml/src/python/
• CFLAGS="-DSWIG_PYTHON_NO_USE_GIL" python setup.py build
• sudo python setup.py install

Now you should have a working python API. As of now you will be able to try out the examples given in dbxml/examples/python/
