How to build CernVM-Launch

CernVM-Launch has several dependencies: JsonCPP, OpenSSL, zlib, libcurl and libcernvm.

You may optionally provide your system versions (see CMakeLists.txt and libcernvm repository for details). However, in that case, it is not guaranteed that the build will be successful, because not all versions of the dependencies are compatible. Also, you need to provide static libraries/binaries of the dependencies, because CernVM-Launch is building a fully static binary.

If you do not provide the dependencies from the system, CernVM-Launch build system will try to download and build them automatically.

  1. Clone the repository and run the prepare-*.sh script according to your platform.
  2. Go into the created build directory: cd build.
  3. Build the sources: cmake --build .. For the initial build, do NOT use a parallel build (e.g. cmake --build . -- -j 4), because the OpenSSL build might fail in that case. After you have built OpenSSL, you may use parallel build as you wish.
