Xen Cloud Platform Building Instructions

Building the xapi toolstack

The recommended way to build the xapi toolstack is in an environment similar to that in which it will be installed - therefore you'll need a CentOS 5.5 32-bit OS installed - we tend to use VMs for this.

For convenience, there are YUM repositories hosted on downloads.xen.org that contain the build dependencies of xapi. To enable these, create a a file /etc/yum.repos.d/xcp.repo with the following contents: 


[xcp]
name = xcp
baseurl = http://downloads.xen.org/XCP/xcp-1.0-repo
gpgcheck = 0


If you're building XCP unstable, replace '1.0' in the URL with 'unstable'.

Then execute the following commands: 


rpm -e libaio
yum install gcc autoconf automake tetex ghostscript java-1.6.0-openjdk java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel ant pam-devel python-devel zlib-devel openssl-devel dev86 rpm-build texinfo flex bison sharutils elfutils-devel ncurses-devel e4fsprogs-devel ocaml ocaml-findlib ocaml-getopt ocaml-type-conv ocaml-xmlm omake ocaml-xmlm-devel xen-devel xapi-libs-devel xapi-libs-utils


You'll also need mercurial or git depending upon whether you're building the unstable version of XCP or 1.0. These are both available in the EPEL repository (http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/repoview/)

Check out the xapi source:

hg clone http://xenbits.xen.org/XCP/xen-api.hg

or

git clone git@github.com:xen-org/xen-api.git

and then build it: 


cd xen-api.hg
make


or 


cd xen-api
make


It is also possible to build xapi in a non-CentOS 5.5 32-bit environment with the help of mock. Instructions for this are coming.
