• Debian
  I regularly upload new versions to the Debian archive. If you use the Debian unstable or testing branches, you should be able to install them with apt-get. See the the unstable and testing lists.

• GCC/G++ 2.95.2 or higher. Available from your distribution or GCC Homepage.
• GLib - a library of C routines. Note that you don't have to download the whole Gtk+ Toolkit, just the rather small GLib.
• You also need libsigc++, a signal framework for C++ and Yehia, a plugin framework.
• GNU readline, needed for the interactive database terminal (gql-shell).
• Optionally doxygen for the the documentation (please use a version>= 1.2.15).

• GNU libtool
• GNU autoconf
• GNU automake
• GNU gperf

After you are sure you have installed all these tools, set the source directory up by runnning autogen.sh:

cd gql && ./autogen.sh

Now you should be able to proceed with the next section.

./configure configuration-args
make
make install # do this as root


The only thing you should pay attention to is using the right configure flags.

Important is the --with-drivers="driver1 driver2 ..." option to include the desired drivers in the compilation process. You might also want to use --enable-static to get also static libraries and --enable-debug for debugging symbols.

Here is an example (skip the first two lines if you build from CVS):

tar -xzf gql-0.3.0.tar.gz
cd gql-0.3.0
./configure --with-drivers="pg mysql sqlite"
make
make install # do this as root


If you encounter any problems during install or have other questions, please feel free to ask on the Users' mailing list.
