1.5.2. Native Source Code

The source code for all of the Sunflower Native applications and dependencies are located in SRI’s SCM Manager Git repository. The repository is located at:

https://scm.sri.com/scm/git/ROR/sunflower-native

and can be cloned using the following command line syntax:

git clone https://<USERNAME>@scm.sri.com/scm/git/ROR/sunflower-native

the project is structured into 5 different folders.

.
├── build
├── dep-source
├── scripts
├── sunflower-native
└── sunflower-native-build

For additional details regarding the usage, management, and building of sunflower-native, refer to the README files located throughout the sunflower-native’s folder hierarchy.

1.5.3. Building Flora and XSB

  1. Ensure you have a Maven settings file configured to access Artifactory.

  2. Open a bash or git-bash shell.

  3. cd to <path>/RAVE/sunflower-native/sunflower-native.

  4. type:

    $ MVN_SETTINGS=/path/to/mvn-settings.xml ./build-fetch-deps.sh
$ ./build-min-deps.sh 2>&1 | tee build.log

1.5.4. Notes

  • The build process can take anywhere from 30 minutes to over an hour.
  • Built binaries will be located in <path>/sunflower-native/sunflower-native/flserver-build/ext.
  • Do not use the build version of MySQL - it is an incomplete distribution for build purposes only.

1.5.5. Usage

To use the built versions with Sunflower, if you will need to ensure your environment is configured accordingly:

Platform Environment Variable Note
Macintosh DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH If MySQL client library is not installed in /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib, then you must define DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path to MySql>/lib in .bashrc
Linux LD_LIBRARY_PATH If MySQL client library is not installed in /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib, then you must define LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path to MySql>/lib in .bashrc
Windows Path You will need to add <path to MySQL server>/lib to your Path environment variable.
