Introduction to Virtuoso

Virtuoso is a cross-platform server that implements multiple server-side protocols as part of a single-server product offering. There is one server product that offers WebDAV/HTTP, Application, and Database-server functionality alongside Native XML Storage, Universal Data-Access Middleware, Business Process Integration and a Web-Services Platform.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.1 platform.

Installation of Virtuoso

Install virtuoso by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=/usr \
            --sysconfdir=/etc \
            --localstatedir=/var \
            --without-internal-zlib \
            --program-transform-name="s/isql/isql-v/" \
            --disable-all-vads \
            --disable-static &&
make

Virtuoso does not come with a callable test suite. An intensive check routine is part of the build process.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

--without-internal-zlib: This option is set to use the installed zlib and not the bundled one.

--program-transform-name: Both, Virtuoso as well as unixODBC installs a program named isql. Use this option to rename virtuosos program to isql-v

--disable-all-vads: This option disables the building of all the VAD packages (tutorials, demos, etc.).

--disable-static: This option disables the building of static libraries. However, the main virtuoso library, libvirtuoso-t, is still built as a static library.

--enable-python: Add this option if Python is installed. It enables the use of Python by Virtuoso.

--with-port: Add this if you want the virtuoso server to listen on another port than 1111.

Configuration

[Note]

Note

If Virtuoso is only to be used for KDE4, there is no need to start the Virtuoso server at boot time.

Boot Script

If you want the Virtuoso server to start automatically when the system is booted, install the /etc/rc.d/init.d/virtuoso init script included in the blfs-bootscripts-201205011 package. 

make install-virtuoso
