source: freeDiameter/INSTALL.FreeBSD

See INSTALL file for general instructions on building freeDiameter.

------------------
QUICK INSTRUCTIONS
------------------

On FreeBSD-8.0 at least the following ports packages were required (should be same on FreeBSD-7.x):
 cmake flex bison gnutls

Then the cmake command had to look like:
 cmake -DFLEX_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH=/usr/local/bin/flex -DSCTP_USE_MAPPED_ADDRESSES:BOOL=ON ...


---------------------
COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS
---------------------

1) If you don't have freeBSD yet:
   Install minimal system + ports using initial installer /usr/sbin/sysinstall


2) Install 'cmake'

 a) from sources:
    # cd /usr/ports/devel/cmake
    # make install
    
 b) or from package (don't forget to set your PACKAGEROOT appropriately. Ex: set PACKAGEROOT=ftp://ftp.jp.freebsd.org):
    # pkg_add -v -r cmake
        
 
3) Install 'mercurial' (optional)
  (replace 'cmake' by 'mercurial' in the previous command) 

4) Install 'flex' and 'bison', same way.

5) Install 'gnutls' and 'libidn2', same way also.

6) Retrieve freeDiameter source code:
   # cd ~
   # /usr/local/bin/hg clone http://www.freediameter.net/hg/freeDiameter/
   
6b) Make a build directory
   # mkdir fD-build
   # cd fD-build
   
7) Run cmake for freeDiameter (add other flags as you see fit, see INSTALL for more details)
   # /usr/local/bin/cmake -DFLEX_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH=/usr/local/bin/flex -DSCTP_USE_MAPPED_ADDRESSES:BOOL=ON ../freeDiameter

8) Compile, optionnaly test
   # make
   # make test

9) Install
   # make install
   
10) Run (the install path can be changed during cmake step):
   # /usr/local/bin/freeDiameterd --help


------------------------------
app_acct test ADDITIONAL STEPS
------------------------------
Here is additional steps in order to run the test for app_acct

1) Install the required packages
  # pkg_add -v -r postgresql84-client
  # pkg_add -v -r postgresql84-server

2) Prepare access to the database:
  # echo postgresql_enable=YES >> /etc/rc.conf
  # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgresql initdb
  # su - pgsql
  > /usr/local/bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -l logfile start
  > /usr/local/bin/createuser root
  Shall the new user be allowed to create databases? (y/n) y
  > logout
  # /usr/local/bin/createdb root
  # /usr/local/bin/psql root
  root=# CREATE TABLE incoming_test (
  root(# recorded_on timestamp with time zone NOT NULL,
  root(# "Accounting-Record-Type" integer,
  root(# "Session-Id" bytea,
  root(# "Accounting-Record-Number" integer,
  root(# "Route-Record1" bytea,
  root(# "Route-Record2" bytea,
  root(# "Route-Record3" bytea,
  root(# "Route-Record4" bytea );
  root=# \q

3) configure the sources
  # make edit_cache
   BUILD_APP_ACCT:BOOL=ON
   TEST_APP_ACCT:BOOL=ON
   TEST_APP_ACCT_CONNINFO:STRING="user=root dbname=root"
   
4) run the test
  # tests/testappacct -d
  or
  # make test

Segmentation fault on program exit
----------------------------------

In case you encounter a segmentation fault on program termination like this:
  [...]
  freeDiameterd framework is terminated.
  Segmentation fault: 11 (core dumped)

with a backtrace like this:
  #0  0x0000000801a414a0 in ?? ()
  #1  0x0000000800f99274 in __cxa_finalize () from /lib/libc.so.7
  #2  0x0000000800f460b7 in exit () from /lib/libc.so.7
  
You may try to add the following compilation directive in cmake:
  -DSKIP_DLCLOSE:BOOL=ON

Note: this segmentation fault was experienced with:
 - FreeBSD 8.1
 - 64 bits architecture only.
 - Profiling mode only.
