Installation on FreeBSD¶

This were the steps I used to get ChiliProject up and running on FreeBSD:

I started on a quite pristine FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE amd64 (actually in a jail) with /usr/ports populated and only a few packages installed (basically I installed bash and its dependencies):

bash-4.1.10         The GNU Project's Bourne Again SHell
bison-2.4.3,1       A parser generator from FSF, (mostly) compatible with Yacc
gettext-0.18.1.1    GNU gettext package
libiconv-1.13.1_1   A character set conversion library
libtool-2.4         Generic shared library support script
m4-1.4.16,1         GNU m4
portmaster-3.9.1    Manage your ports without external databases or languages

I decided to install ruby, ruby-gems and ruby-iconv from the Ports-Colletion and the ruby packages from bundle in ChiliProject.

I'm going to install ChiliProject with Sqlite3, other DB's should work similarly.

The following steps were done as root (prompt = #)

First we need to install a few packages, configuration is the default one unless otherwise noted

Sqlite3 (substitute your database here):

# cd /usr/ports/databases/sqlite3
# make
# make install

Then we install Ruby 1.8 (>= 1.8.7):

# cd /usr/ports/lang/ruby18/
# make
# make install

Now Ruby Gems:

# cd /usr/ports/devel/ruby-gems
# make
# make install

And Ruby Iconv (the parts of ruby that need extra dependencies are factored out into their own ports on FreeBSD):

# cd /usr/ports/converters/ruby-iconv/
# make
# make install

Thats the packages we install from the Ports-Collection.

Next we install Bundler using Gem:

# gem install bundler

In the meantime I got the ChiliProject source tree (see Installation how to get it).
For some reason the installed gem doesn't find sqlite3.h in /usr/local/include so we set the environment variable CONFIGURE_ARGS="with-sqlite3-include=/usr/local/include" when installing with bundle. Please adapt your --without option to your needs.

# cd chiliproject
# CONFIGURE_ARGS="with-sqlite3-include=/usr/local/include" bundle install --without="test mysql mysql2 postgres openid rmagick"
