Zeroskip

Zeroskip is an append only key-value database format. This repository provides the library to create and use Zeroskip databases.

Build and Install

On Unix-like systems (including Linux and Mac OS X), use the autotools build system. To configure, build and install, run the following commands in the top-level directory:

    $ ./configure
    $ make
    $ make check
    $ make install

If you've downloaded the source directly from the git source repository, create the configure script by running autoreconf first:

    $ autoreconf --install

To uninstall libzeroskip, run:

    $ make uninstall

Running tests

Running unit tests is as simple as running make check after building Zeroskip. There are tutorials on libcheck available here.

To run specific test cases, use the CK_RUN_CASE environment variable. For instance, if we want to run the foreach test cases, we would run:

    $ CK_RUN_CASE="foreach" ./tests/unit

Dependencies

Zeroskip needs libz(zlib) for crc32 functions and libuuid for uuid_* functions. The build system uses pkg-config to determine the libs and include paths. So please ensure that the the PKG_CONFIG_PATH contains the right path.

On Solaris(Triton) it is: PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig.

On MacOS, please install the package ossp-uuid for libuuid.

For unit tests, libcheck is used. Please find instructions about installing libcheck on your platform here.
