Toolchain

The toolchain (compiler, archiver, and linker) used for building xNVMe must support C11, pthreads and on the system the following tools must be available:

  • Python (>=3.7)

  • meson (>=0.58) and matching version of ninja

  • make (gmake)

  • gcc/mingw/clang

Along with libraries:

  • glibc (>= 2.28, for io_uring/liburing)

  • libaio-dev (>=0.3, For xNVMe and SPDK)

  • libnuma-dev (>=2, For SPDK)

  • libssl-dev (>=1.1, For SPDK)

  • liburing (>=2.2, for xNVMe)

  • uuid-dev (>=2.3, For SPDK)

xNVMe makes use of libraries and interfaces when available and will “gracefully degrade” when a given library is not available. For example, if liburing is not available on your system and you do not want to install it, then xNVMe will simply build without io_uring-support.

The preferred toolchain is gcc and the following sections describe how to install it and required libraries on a set of popular Linux Distributions, FreeBSD, MacOS, and Windows. If you wish to use a different toolchain then see the Non-GCC Toolchain, on how to instrument the build-system using a compiler other than gcc.

In the following sections, the system package-manager is used whenever possible to install the toolchain and libraries. However, on some Linux distribution there are not recent enough versions. To circumvent that, then the packages are installed via the Python package-manager. In some cases even a recent enough version of Python is not available, to bootstrap it, then Python is built and installed from source.

Note

When installing packages via the Python package-manager (python3 -m pip install), then packages should be installed system-wide. This is ensure that the installed packages behave as though they were installed using the system package-manager.

Package-managers: apk, pkg, dnf, yum, pacman, apt, aptitude, apt-get, pkg, choco, brew.

Alpine Linux (latest)

Install the required toolchain and libraries, with sufficient system privileges (e.g. as root or with sudo), by executing the commands below. You can run this from the root of the xNVMe by invoking:

sudo ./xnvme/toolbox/pkgs/alpine-latest.sh

Or, run the commands contained within the script manually:

# Install packages via the system package-manager (apk)

git clone https://github.com/OpenMPDK/libvfn.git toolbox/third-party/libvfn/repository

git checkout v3.0.1
meson setup builddir -Dlibnvme="disabled" -Ddocs="disabled" --buildtype=release --prefix=/usr
meson compile -C builddir
meson install -C builddir
popd

# Install packages via the Python package-manager (pip)
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
python3 -m pip install \
 pipx

Note

A Docker-image is provided via ghcr.io, specifically ghcr.io/xnvme/xnvme-deps-alpine-latest:next. This Docker-image contains all the software described above.

Then go ahead and configure, build and install using meson:

# configure xNVMe with SPDK and libvfn disabled
meson setup builddir -Dwith-spdk=false

# build xNVMe
meson compile -C builddir

# install xNVMe
meson install -C builddir

# uninstall xNVMe
# cd builddir && meson --internal uninstall

Note

There are issues with SPDK/DPDK due to incompatibilities with the standard library provided by musl libc. Additionally, the libexecinfo-dev package is no longer available on Alpine. Additionally, libvfn also relies on libexecinfo-dev which is currently not available for Alpine Linux. Thus, it is also disabled. Pull-request fixing these issues are most welcome, until then, disable libvfn and spdk on Alpine.

Arch Linux (latest)

Install the required toolchain and libraries, with sufficient system privileges (e.g. as root or with sudo), by executing the commands below. You can run this from the root of the xNVMe by invoking:

sudo ./xnvme/toolbox/pkgs/archlinux-latest.sh

Or, run the commands contained within the script manually:

Note

The build is configured to install with --prefix=/usr this is intentional such the the pkg-config files end up in the default search path on the system. If you do not want this, then remove --prefix=/usr and adjust your $PKG_CONFIG_PATH accordingly.

Note

In case you get error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line, during compilation, then add -ltinfo -lnurces to LDFLAGS as it is done in the commands above. The build is configured to install with --prefix=/usr this is intentional such the the pkg-config files end up in the default search path on the system. If you do not want this, then remove --prefix=/usr and adjust your $PKG_CONFIG_PATH accordingly.
