Setup of Development Environment for CentOS

General

Please also have a look at the instructions that already exist for other Operating systems (Setup of Development environment).

mono-openpetra package

There is now a project at Github, that maintains an RPM package with Mono and some tools included, that are very useful for the development of OpenPetra:

• https://github.com/tpokorra/mono-openpetra-packages

The packages are available at Sourceforge:

• https://sourceforge.net/projects/openpetraorg/files/openpetraorg/mono-openpetra/

installing packages

These instructions have been tested with CentOS 6.3, 64 bit:

# install the epel repository
rpm -Uhv http://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/fedora-epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
# install required packages
yum install openssh-clients pkgconfig bzr libgdiplus liberation-mono-fonts
# install mono-openpetra
rpm -Uhv http://sourceforge.net/projects/openpetraorg/files/openpetraorg/mono-openpetra/centos-6/mono-openpetra-3.0.6-2.x86_64.rpm/download
# install postgresql
rpm -Uhv http://yum.pgrpms.org/9.2/redhat/rhel-6-x86_64/pgdg-centos92-9.2-6.noarch.rpm
yum install postgresql92 postgresql92-server
service postgresql-9.2 initdb

vi /var/lib/pgsql/9.2/data/pg_hba.conf

 add to top:  
   local all  postgres    ident
   host all petraserver 127.0.0.1/0 md5

service postgresql-9.2 start
chkconfig postgresql-9.2 on

get the code

as a unprivileged user, run this:

mkdir bzr
cd bzr
bzr init
bzr checkout lp:openpetraorg

first steps

cd bzr/openpetraorg
export PATH=/opt/mono-openpetra/bin:$PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/mono-openpetra/lib/pkgconfig
nant generateSolution
nant createDatabaseUser
nant recreateDatabase resetDatabase
nant test-without-display

compile just one project:

nant compileProject -D:file=delivery/projects/sharpdevelop4/Ict.Petra.Server.lib.MPartner.connect.csproj
