=Installing LLA on Linux From GIT/Archive=

This describes how to get LLA working on a Linux system.

==Checkout or Download an Archive==

git clone http://www.nomis52.net/git/lla

If you don't have it yet, install '''git''' using your distro's package manager.

==Install libraries==

You need a couple of libraries installed for everything to work correctly. Some of these are available as packages in most distros but others need to be downloaded.

First up we'll need '''microhttpd''' for the embedded web server (Note: you'll need version >= 0.4.0):

-> [ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libmicrohttpd/ ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libmicrohttpd/]

Then you will need '''libcppunit-dev''' and '''libcppunit'''.

Debian users can install them with apt:

apt-get install libcppunit-dev libcppunit-1.12-1

Next, you need the '''Protocol Buffers''' from Google (BSD license). Most likely, you will need to download and build them yourself:

-> [http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/ http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/]

Debian users will can use the following packets (not yet in stable):
libprotobuf2, libprotobuf-dev, protobuf-compiler

Then, build '''CTemplate''' (another Google goodie):

-> [http://code.google.com/p/google-ctemplate/ http://code.google.com/p/google-ctemplate/]

Finally run ldconfig as root to pick up the new libraries

ldconfig

==Configure==

If you checked out the sources from git, you'll need to run

autoreconf -i

After that run

./configure

==Building & Testing==

Build
make

Run the tests
make check

And install LLA
sudo make install

Nettings: made information distro-agnostic (debian-specific hints are still there, so no information lost).

Nettings: LLA on Debian moved to LLA on Linux: Most information is generic enough to fit all Linux flavours. Debian-specific info will be retained as example.

=Installing LLA on Debian From GIT/Archive=

This describes how to get LLA working on a Debian system. It should be pretty similar for any other Linux based OS.

==Checkout or Download an Archive==

git clone http://www.nomis52.net/git/lla

==Install libraries==

You need a couple of libraries installed for everything to work correctly. Some of these are available as Debian packages but others need to be downloaded.

First up we'll need microhttpd for the embedded web server (Note: you'll need version >= 0.4.0):

[ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libmicrohttpd/ microhttpd]

Install some more libraries with apt:

apt-get install libcppunit-dev libcppunit-1.12-1

From source or debian packages (not in stable):

libprotobuf2, libprotobuf-dev, protobuf-compiler
[http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/ ProtocolBuffers]

From source:

[http://code.google.com/p/google-ctemplate/ CTemplate]

Finally run ldconfig as root to pick up the new libraries

ldconfig

==Configure==

If you checked out the sources from git, you'll need to run
