2.4. Installation from Source
Compiling and installing from source requires that several additional utilities be present in the system. Part of the application is java-based, so a java compiler and jar file creator is required. If you don't have one, you can download one from http://java.sun.com/j2se/. Also, if you want to build any of the man pages and have them installed, you'll need the docbook tools which come standard with most linux distributions.
Once you've made sure you have all the prerequisites installed, download the source tarballs to your home directory(or anywhere that's convenient), and issue the following commands from your command prompt:
2.4.1. Linux / Unix Systems
To install the dbreplicator package, do:
#> tar zxf dbreplicator_2.2.4.tar.gz #> cd dbreplicator #> ./configure #> make #> make installThis will build and install the replicator libraries in the appropriate places, which are necessary for the dbreplicator package.
The source for this can be obtained from http://dbreplicator.org.
2.4.2. Windows Systems
Unzip the dbreplicator zip file and execute the "make.bat" file in the 'java' subdirectory of the source tree. You will be unable to build the documentation from its docbook source, so a copy of the PDF and HTML documentation is located in the 'doc' subdirectory of the source tree.
