Installation:
onak has been mainly developed under Linux with a bit of work on FreeBSD
-at times also. It's i386 specific at present thanks to the bit of
-assembly in bithelp.h. Feel free to submit a patch for your arch. :)
+at times also. It should run on all architectures, but has only been
+tested on i386 and PowerPC so far.
-Typing "make" should produce a version of onak with support for the DB3
-backend. If you want to choose a different backend (see below for a
-discussion about the options) you'll need to edit the Makefile first.
+Typing "./configure && make" should produce a version of onak with
+support for the DB4 backend. If you want to choose a different backend
+(see below for a discussion about the options) you'll need to pass the
+appropriate option to ./configure.
Once make has completed you'll end up with various binaries:
keyid - no key updating or searching by key test. Found to be
tempramental and prone to deadlock in the db2 library.
-* db3 (Berkeley libdb3)
+* db4 (Berkeley libdb4)
The currently preferred backend. Supports the full range of functions
like the pg backend but is considerably faster. Also easier to setup
- assuming you have libdb3 installed; there's no need to have an SQL
+ assuming you have libdb4 installed; there's no need to have an SQL
database running and configured.
+* fs (file backend)
+ A fuller featured file based backend. Doesn't need any external
+ libraries and supports the full range of operations (such as text and
+ subkey searching). Needs a good filesystem to get good performance
+ though as it creates many, many files and links.
