clearinghoused Build System (clearinghoused_build)

clearinghoused_build is the automated build system for clearinghoused. This is an alternative method from manual clearinghoused installation and running, which includes a point-and-click Windows installer, as well as a source code build script that takes care of all setup necessary to run clearinghoused from source.

Using the build system, you have the following options:

• If you are a Windows user, you can either use the installer package, or build from source
• If you are an Ubuntu Linux user, you can use the build system to automate your install/setup from source
• If you are neither, at this point you will need to follow the manual installation instructions.

When to use?

This build system will probably be especially helpful in any of the following circumstances:

• You are a Windows user, or a Linux user that isn’t super experienced with the command line interface.
• You want to deploy clearinghoused in a production environment, and have it run automatically on system startup
• You want to build your own clearinghoused binaries

Future plans

Future plans for the build system (pull requests for these features would be greatly appreciated):

• Add support for Linux distributions beyond Ubuntu Linux
• Add support for Mac OS X automated setup from source
• Add support for creation of installer for Mac OS X
• Add support for creation of .rpm, .deb., etc. binary packages for Linux

More information on Clearinghouse is available in the specs.
