B.1 Introduction
This appendix provides more details on how to build freeDiameter. It is recommended for anyone interested in developing new features in Diameter or hacking in the existing freeDiameter code. As a prerequisite, the reader should be familiar with software development and the Linux environment.
The general steps to compile and then run freeDiameter are the following:
- 1. Install the required tools and dependencies.
- 2. Obtain the source code.
- 3. Set up your build environment.
- 4. Run make, which will in turn call the C compiler and other tools needed to compile
freeDiameter. - 5. Create a
freeDiameterconfiguration file. - 6. Run and test
freeDiameter.
The following sections provide more details on these steps, which will create the environment covered in Appendix A.
