Metaproxy depends on the following tools/libraries:
This is a C++ library based on YAZ.
This is an XSLT processor - based on Libxml2. Both Libxml2 and Libxslt must be installed with the development components (header files, etc.) as well as the run-time libraries.
The popular C++ library. Initial versions of Metaproxy was built with 1.32 but this is no longer supported. Metaproxy is known to work with Boost version 1.34 through 1.74.
In order to compile Metaproxy, a modern C++ compiler is required. Boost, in particular, requires the C++ compiler to facilitate the newest features. Refer to Boost Compiler Status for more information.
We have successfully built Metaproxy using the compilers GCC and Microsoft Visual Studio.
As an option, Metaproxy may also be compiled with USEMARCON support which allows for MARC conversions for the record_transform(3mp) filter.
Here is a quick step-by-step guide on how to compile all the tools that Metaproxy uses. Only few systems have none of the required tools as binary packages. If, for example, Libxml2/libxslt are already installed as development packages, use those (and omit compilation).
USEMARCON is not available as a package at the moment, so Metaproxy must be built from source if that is to be used.
Libxml2/libxslt:
gunzip -c libxml2-version.tar.gz|tar xf -
cd libxml2-version
./configure
make
su
make install
gunzip -c libxslt-version.tar.gz|tar xf -
cd libxslt-version
./configure
make
su
make install
gunzip -c usemarcon317.tar.gz|tar xf -
cd usemarcon317
./configure
make
su
make install
gunzip -c yaz-version.tar.gz|tar xf -
cd yaz-version
./configure
make
su
make install
gunzip -c yazpp-version.tar.gz|tar xf -
cd yazpp-version
./configure
make
su
make install
Metaproxy needs some Boost libraries. This is most easily installed from source, as explained in getting started.
gunzip -c boost-version.tar.gz|tar xf -
cd boost-version
./bootsrap.sh --with-libraries=thread,test,regex
./b2 install
The bootstrap should automatically detect the "toolset", otherwise specify this as explained in getting started.
Add --prefix=DIR to install Boost in other
prefix than /usr/local.
gunzip -c metaproxy-version.tar.gz|tar xf -
cd metaproxy-version
./configure
make
su
make install
You may have to tell configure where Boost is installed by supplying
options --with-boost and --with-boost-toolset.
The former sets the PREFIX for Boost (same as --prefix for Boost above).
The latter the compiler toolset (e.g. gcc34).
Pass --help to configure to get a list of
available options.
