Build from source

In case you want to install Marcel from scratch or if it hasn't been packaged for your distribution.

Requirements :

Compilation environment

  • a C compile chaine : Gcc, Make, ... On Debian derived, you need something like
apt install git make build-essential

Have a look on your distribution documentation 😏

  • If you need to modify some compilation options ; LFMakeMaker.
    I strongly suggest to modify then launch remake.sh instead of tedious Makefile changes.

⚠️ Notez-bien : if you're experimenting include file not found, but the corresponding dependencies are already installed ... rerun remake.sh. It's probably because there are not in the same place compared to my system when I generated the Makefiles.

Helpers libraries

Mandatory library

  • Paho as MQTT communication layer.

Modules dependant optional libraries

  • Lua (debian package : liblua5.3-dev) - Tested with Lua 5.1 and 5.3

  • json-c (debian package : libjson-c-dev)

  • libcurl (debian package : libcurl4-openssl-dev)

Compilation :

get sources

Get Marcel latest tarball for stable version or clone its repository for rolling release version (if you get the default branch, you're guaranteed to get a stable and tested version).

git clone https://github.com/destroyedlolo/Marcel.git

Select which modules to build

The default Makefile will build all modules. If you're having the need to exclude a module from building (for exemple, in case of technical dependancy issue), you have to :

  • Enable/Disable corresponding BUILD_???? option in remake.sh shell script.
  • Run remake.sh to update Makefiles

Notez-bien : we are speaking here of compiling. If your need is only to avoid a module to run, it can be done directly from the configuration files, no need to recompile anything.

Compile

From the top directory

make

install

As root,

install.sh

You may first having a look in this script if you don't want to install Marcel in the default location.
