NAME

INSTALL - How to install Kx

SYNOPSIS

    perl Makefile.PL
    make
    make test
    make install

DESCRIPTION

This is experimental at the moment. Mark developed it on MacOSX and Linux, x86. And now my (Stephan's) development platform is Linux (x64).

You need to first get a copy of c.o from https://github.com/KxSystems/kdb (for example for Linux x64 it's https://github.com/KxSystems/kdb/blob/master/l64/c.o) for your architecture. Make libkdb.a from c.o for easy linking like below in the same path as the package source.

    ar -r libkdb.a c.o

or libtool -static -o libkdb.a c.o

For make test to actually do anything, you need to have a 'q' process running on localhost port 2222 (or other port specified by environment variable KX_PORT).

    q -p 2222
