Building RethinkDB

RethinkDB is the open-source, scalable database that makes building realtime apps dramatically easier. Version 2.3.5 of RethinkDB has been built and tested on Linux on z Systems. The following instructions can be used for RHEL 7.3, SLES 12 SP2, Ubuntu 16.04 and Alpine 3.6.

General Note:

When following the steps below please use a standard permission user unless otherwise specified
A directory /<source_root>/ will be referred to in these instructions, this is a temporary writable directory anywhere you'd like to place it

Building and Installing RethinkDB

Step 1: Install the Dependencies

RHEL 7.3

yum update -y
yum groupinstall -y 'Development Tools'
yum install -y python openssl-devel libcurl-devel wget tar m4 git-core boost-static m4 gcc-c++ npm ncurses-devel which make ncurses-static zlib-devel zlib-static

SLES 12 SP2

zypper update -y
zypper install -y gcc gcc-c++ make libopenssl-devel zlib-devel wget tar patch curl unzip autoconf automake libtool python python-xml python-curses libicu-devel git

Install Protobuf as per recipe on RHEL 7.3 and SLES 12 SP2 with following modifications

Protobuf version 2.6.1 is required to be checked out

git checkout v2.6.1

Modify ./protobuf/autogen.sh as follows

Then

./configure --allow-fetch LDFLAGS=-lexecinfo
make -j 4

Note: make -j 4 will execute up to 4 build tasks in parallel. This number may be increased or decreased as necessary to match the resources available on the machine. Also note that the current porting on Alpine doesn't pass all unit tests due to the implementation of backtrace in a third party library libexecinfo. For the same reason, the following Step 3 and 4 may also not apply.

Step 3: Install RethinkDB

sudo make install

Step 4: Start RethinkDB server

rethinkdb --bind all

(Optional) Testing RethinkDB

Execute Unit Tests

cd /<source root>/rethinkdb
make -j 4 DEBUG=1
./test/run unit -j 4

Note: ./test/run unit -j 4 will execute up to 4 unit tests in parallel. This number may be increased or decreased to match the resources available on the machine.

Execute Integration Tests

cd /<source root>/rethinkdb
./test/run -j 4

Note: There is a known failure when running test cases of type FAIL regression.known_failures_1774. This can be safely ignored.
