Important: If you plan to run RocksDB in production, don't compile using default
make or make all. That will compile RocksDB in debug mode, which is much slower
than release mode.
RocksDB's library should be able to compile without any dependency installed, although we recommend installing some compression libraries (see below). We do depend on newer gcc/clang with C++11 support.
There are few options when compiling RocksDB:
[recommended] make static_lib will compile librocksdb.a, RocksDB static library. Compiles static library in release mode.
make shared_lib will compile librocksdb.so, RocksDB shared library. Compiles shared library in release mode.
make check will compile and run all the unit tests. make check will compile RocksDB in debug mode.
make all will compile our static library, and all our tools and unit tests. Our tools
depend on gflags. You will need to have gflags installed to run make all. This will compile RocksDB in debug mode. Don't
use binaries compiled by make all in production.
By default the binary we produce is optimized for the platform you're compiling on
(-march=native or the equivalent). SSE4.2 will thus be enabled automatically if your
CPU supports it. To print a warning if your CPU does not support SSE4.2, build with
USE_SSE=1 make static_lib or, if using CMake, cmake -DFORCE_SSE42=ON. If you want
to build a portable binary, add PORTABLE=1 before your make commands, like this:
PORTABLE=1 make static_lib.
You can link RocksDB with following compression libraries:
All our tools depend on:
If you wish to build the RocksJava static target, then cmake is required for building Snappy.
Linux - Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install libgflags-dev
If this doesn't work and you're using Ubuntu, here's a nice tutorial:
(http://askubuntu.com/questions/312173/installing-gflags-12-04)sudo apt-get install libsnappy-dev.sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev.sudo apt-get install libbz2-dev.sudo apt-get install liblz4-dev.sudo apt-get install libzstd-dev.Linux - CentOS / RHEL
yum install gcc48-c++Install gflags:
git clone https://github.com/gflags/gflags.git
cd gflags
git checkout v2.0
./configure && make && sudo make install
Notice: Once installed, please add the include path for gflags to your CPATH environment variable and the
lib path to LIBRARY_PATH. If installed with default settings, the include path will be /usr/local/include
and the lib path will be /usr/local/lib.
Install snappy:
sudo yum install snappy snappy-devel
Install zlib:
sudo yum install zlib zlib-devel
Install bzip2:
sudo yum install bzip2 bzip2-devel
Install lz4:
sudo yum install lz4-devel
Install ASAN (optional for debugging):
sudo yum install libasan
Install zstandard:
wget https://github.com/facebook/zstd/archive/v1.1.3.tar.gz
mv v1.1.3.tar.gz zstd-1.1.3.tar.gz
tar zxvf zstd-1.1.3.tar.gz
cd zstd-1.1.3
make && sudo make install

You can either install RocksDB from the Ports system using cd /usr/ports/databases/rocksdb && make install, or you can follow the details below to install dependencies and compile from source code:
Install the dependencies for RocksDB:
export BATCH=YES cd /usr/ports/devel/gmake && make install cd /usr/ports/devel/gflags && make install
cd /usr/ports/archivers/snappy && make install cd /usr/ports/archivers/bzip2 && make install cd /usr/ports/archivers/liblz4 && make install cd /usr/ports/archivesrs/zstd && make install
cd /usr/ports/devel/git && make install
Install the dependencies for RocksJava (optional):
export BATCH=yes cd /usr/ports/java/openjdk7 && make install
Build RocksDB from source: cd ~ git clone https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb.git cd rocksdb gmake static_lib
Build RocksJava from source (optional): cd rocksdb export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/openjdk7 gmake rocksdbjava
OpenBSD (6.3/-current):
As RocksDB is not available in the ports yet you have to build it on your own:
Install the dependencies for RocksDB:
pkg_add gmake gflags snappy bzip2 lz4 zstd git jdk bash findutils gnuwatch
Build RocksDB from source:
cd ~ git clone https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb.git cd rocksdb gmake static_lib
Build RocksJava from source (optional):
cd rocksdb export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk-1.8.0 export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/jdk-1.8.0/bin gmake rocksdbjava
iOS:
TARGET_OS=IOS make static_lib. When building the project which uses rocksdb iOS library, make sure to define two important pre-processing macros: ROCKSDB_LITE and IOS_CROSS_COMPILE.Windows:
vcpkg install rocksdb:x64-windowsAIX 6.1
