The recommended and most stable way to build Radiance is with Nix. This requires an existing Nix installation on your machine.
nix-build
./result/bin/radiance --help
However, note that the resulting binary will only run under the same Nix environment.
Radiance commands can be built with standard Go 1.19 tooling.
go run ./cmd/radiance
The full set of functionality requires C dependencies via Cgo.
To create a pure-Go build use the lite
tag.
go build -tags=lite ./cmd/radiance
Radiance tools that require direct access to the blockstore (such as blockstore
and car
)
require a working C toolchain and extra compiler arguments to link against rocksdb.
You'll need a working C compiler toolchain as well as prerequisites listed by grocksdb and RocksDB itself.
RHEL/Centos/Fedora
dnf -y install "@Development Tools" cmake zlib zlib-devel bzip2 bzip2-devel lz4-devel libzstd-devel
Debian
# With package manager RocksDB
apt install -y librocksdb-dev
# With RocksDB from source
apt install -y build-essential cmake zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev liblz4-dev libzstd-dev
Building RocksDB
To build RocksDB from source, run the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb --branch v7.10.2 --depth 1
cd rocksdb
mkdir -p build && cd build
cmake .. \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-DROCKSDB_BUILD_SHARED=OFF \
-DWITH_GFLAGS=OFF \
-DWITH_BZ2=ON \
-DWITH_SNAPPY=OFF \
-DWITH_ZLIB=ON \
-DWITH_ZSTD=ON \
-DWITH_ALL_TESTS=OFF \
-DWITH_BENCHMARK_TOOLS=OFF \
-DWITH_CORE_TOOLS=OFF \
-DWITH_RUNTIME_DEBUG=OFF \
-DWITH_TESTS=OFF \
-DWITH_TOOLS=OFF \
-DWITH_TRACE_TOOLS=OFF
make -j
cd ../..
Finally, rebuild Radiance with the appropriate Cgo flags.
export CGO_CFLAGS="-I$(pwd)/rocksdb/include"
export CGO_LDFLAGS="-L$(pwd)/rocksdb/build -lbz2"
go run ./cmd/radiance
