Building Couchbase

Couchbase 4.1.0 can be built and tested on Linux on z Systems (RHEL 7.1 and SLES 12) by following these instructions.

General Notes:

  1. When following the steps below please use a standard permission user unless otherwise specified.

  2. A directory /<source_root>/ will be referred to in these instructions, this is a temporary writeable directory anywhere you’d like to place it.

Step 1 : Install the Dependencies

  • RHEL7

    sudo yum install wget tar git gcc-c++ make curl openssl-devel libevent-devel libcurl-devel libicu-devel snappy-devel java-1.7.1-ibm java-1.7.1-ibm-devel ncurses-devel openssl unixODBC unixODBC-devel cmake

  • SLES12

    sudo zypper install cmake wget tar git gcc-c++ make curl libopenssl-devel java-1.7.1-ibm-devel java-1.7.1-ibm-devel libevent-devel libcurl-devel libicu-devel snappy-devel ncurses-devel openssl unixODBC unixODBC-devel python-xml

Other Dependencies

Step 2 : Download the Repo tool

  • Download the Repo tool using cURL tool and ensure that it’s executable (via chmod)

    cd /<source_root>/
curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > repo
chmod a+x repo
Step 3 : Build, install and test Couchbase

  • Create a directory couchbase

    mkdir -p /<source_root>/couchbase

  • Clone the Couchbase 4.1.0 release using the the manifest file via Repo tool with the init and sync commands

    cd /<source_root>/couchbase
git config --global user.email [email protected]
git config --global user.name  your_name
../repo init -u git://github.com/couchbase/manifest -m released/4.1.0.xml
      ../repo sync

  • Edit the following files.

    1. /<source_root>/couchbase/tlm/cmake/Modules/CouchbaseDefinitions.cmake

      Add the following line in the file
      ADD_DEFINITIONS(-DWORDS_BIGENDIAN=1)

    2. /<source_root>/couchbase/tlm/cmake/Modules/FindCouchbaseGo.cmake

      Replace the line
      MESSAGE(FATAL_ERROR "Go version of ${GO_MINIMUM_VERSION} or higher required (found version ${GO_VERSION})")
      With following lines
      STRING(REGEX MATCH "^go version devel .*" go_dev_version "${GO_VERSION}")
IF (go_dev_version)
  MESSAGE(STATUS "WARNING: You are using a development version of go")
  MESSAGE(STATUS "         Go version of ${GO_MINIMUM_VERSION} or higher required")
  MESSAGE(STATUS "         You may experience problems caused by this")
ELSE(go_dev_version)
  MESSAGE(FATAL_ERROR "Go version of ${GO_MINIMUM_VERSION} or higher required (found version ${GO_VERSION})")
ENDIF(go_dev_version)

    3. /<source_root>/couchbase/forestdb/src/arch.h

      In section `#elif __linux__`
Add following lines
      #if defined(__s390x__)
   	#undef SPIN_INITIALIZER
   	#define SPIN_INITIALIZER (spin_t)(0)
   #endif
      after line
      #define SPIN_INITIALIZER (spin_t)(1)

    4. /<source_root>/couchbase/couchstore/src/views/bin/couch_view_file_merger.c

      Replace line ``}merge_file_type_t;``  with  ``};typedef unsigned char merge_file_type_t;``

  • Run the make command and start the building procedure

    cd /<source_root>/couchbase/
make

  • Run the test cases using ctest tool

    cd /<source_root>/couchbase/build/
ctest
Step 4 : Start the server

  • Use the below command to start Couchbase Server

    /<source_root>/couchbase/install/bin/couchbase-server -- -noinput &
    We can view the  Couchbase UI at http://localhost:8091
