Welcome to GPOS, the Greenplum OS abstraction layer!

GPOS supports various build types: debug, release with debug info, release. On x86 systems, GPOS can also be built as a 32-bit or 64-bit library. You'll need CMake 3.0 or higher to build GPOS. Get it from cmake.org, or your operating system's package manager.

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make
sudo make install

Or read on for more detailed instructions below...

Go into gpos and create a build folder

mkdir build
cd build

• debug build

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DEBUG ../

or

• release build with debug info

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo ../

or

• release build

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE ../

For the most part you should not need to explicitly compile a 32-bit or 64-bit version of GPOS. By default, a "native" version for your host platform will be compiled. However, if you are on x86 and want to, for example, build a 32-bit version of GPOS on a 64-bit machine, you can do so as described below. Note that you will need a "multilib" C++ compiler that supports the -m32/-m64 switches, and you may also need to install 32-bit ("i386") versions of the C and C++ standard libraries for your OS.

Debug version with verbose install path:

• 32-bit x86

cmake -D VERBOSE_INSTALL_PATH=1 -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DEBUG -D CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../i386.toolchain.cmake ../

• 64-bit x86

cmake -D VERBOSE_INSTALL_PATH=1 -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DEBUG -D CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../x86_64.toolchain.cmake ../

• build

make

• for faster build use the -j option of make. For instance, the following command runs make on 7 job slots

make -j7

• show all commands being run as part of make

make VERBOSE=1

To run all GPOS tests, simply use the ctest command from the build directory after make finishes.

ctest

Much like make, ctest has a -j option that allows running multiple tests in parallel to save time. Using it is recommended for faster testing.

ctest -j7

By default, ctest does not print the output of failed tests. To print the output of failed tests, use the --output-on-failure flag like so (this is useful for debugging failed tests):

ctest -j7 --output-on-failure

To run a specific individual test, use the gpos_test executable directly.

./server/gpos_test -U CAutoTaskProxyTest

Note that some tests use assertions that are only enabled for DEBUG builds, so DEBUG-mode tests tend to be more rigorous.

Debug builds of GPOS include a couple of "extended" tests for features like fault-simulation and time-slicing that work by running the entire test suite in combination with the feature being tested. These tests can take a long time to run and are not enabled by default. To turn extended tests on, add the cmake arguments -D ENABLE_EXTENDED_TESTS=1.

By default, GPOS will be installed under /usr/local. You can change this by setting CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX when running cmake, for example:

cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/user/gpos ../

If VERBOSE_INSTALL_PATH was not set during cmake then the header files are located in /usr/local/include/gpos the library is located at /usr/local/lib/libgpos.so (or similar paths under a different prefix)

If VERBOSE_INSTALL_PATH was turned on during cmake then the header files and libraries are located under a subdirectory of /usr/local/libgpos

• build and install

make install

• build and install with verbose output

make VERBOSE=1 install

• remove the cmake files generated under build

• If VERBOSE_INSTALL_PATH was not use during cmake then remove gpos header files and library, (assuming the default install prefix /usr/local)

rm -rf /usr/local/include/gpos
rm -rf /usr/local/lib/libgpos.so*

If VERBOSE_INSTALL_PATH was used during cmake then clean up the appropriate libraries and header files under /usr/local/libgpos (assuming the default install prefix /usr/local)
