Installation Guide

Petrel has the following dependencies that you need to compile yourself at the moment:

• boost 1.62+
• nghttp2 1.7+
• luajit 2+ or lua 5.2+ (Note: Stock lua needs to be compiled with C++ support!)

Tested environments:

• Linux: GCC 4.9, 5.3 and Clang 3.6, 3.7, 3.8
• OS X: Clang 3.6

Dependencies

1. Build dependencies

   On debian based distributions like ubuntu run:

   $ sudo apt-get install g++-4.9 gdb git cmake libreadline-dev libssl-dev libluajit-5.1-dev autoconf libtool pkgconf
   $ export CC=gcc-4.9 CXX=g++-4.9
   

   For other distribution you have to install the packages above.

   On OS X with homebrew:

   $ brew install llvm --with-clang --with-compiler-rt --with-libcxx --with-rtti
   $ brew install openssl luajit pkgconfig
   $ export CC=/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang CXX=/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang++
   $ export CXXFLAGS="-stdlib=libc++" LDFLAGS="-stdlib=libc++"
   $ export OPENSSL_CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include" OPENSSL_LIBS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto"
   

2. Boost

   We install our boost build to /usr/local/boost and link it statically. So you should be able to use the boost version shipped with your distribution as usual for other applications:

   $ curl -L http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/boost/boost/1.62.0/boost_1_62_0.tar.bz2 | tar xj
   $ cd boost_1_62_0
   $ ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/usr/local/boost --without-icu --with-libraries=fiber,context,thread,date_time,filesystem,system,program_options,test,atomic
   

   Linux:

   $ echo "using gcc : : $CXX ;" > user-config.jam
   

   OS X:

   $ echo "using darwin : : $CXX ;" > user-config.jam
   

   All:

   $ ./b2 -q --user-config=user-config.jam headers
   

   Linux:

   $ sudo ./b2 -q --user-config=user-config.jam cxxflags="-std=c++11 -fPIC" threading=multi link=static install
   

   OS X:

   $ ./b2 -q --layout=tagged --user-config=user-config.jam threading=multi link=static cxxflags="-std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++" linkflags="-stdlib=libc++" install
   

   All:

   $ cd ..
   

3. nghttp2:

   $ curl -L https://github.com/tatsuhiro-t/nghttp2/releases/download/v1.7.0/nghttp2-1.7.0.tar.bz2 | tar xj
   $ cd nghttp2-1.7.0
   $ ./configure --with-boost=/usr/local/boost --enable-asio-lib
   $ sudo make install
   $ cd ..
