Ideally, you want to make a static binary, otherwise the dynamic
|
||
|
|
linker pollutes your address space with shared libs right in the
|
||
|
|
middle. (NOTE: actually, this shouldn't matter so much anymore, now
|
||
|
|
that we only allocate huge, fixed-size slabs)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Make sure your libevent has epoll (Linux) or kqueue (BSD) support.
|
||
|
|
Using poll or select only is slow, and works for testing, but
|
||
|
|
shouldn't be used for high-traffic memcache installations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To build libevent with epoll on Linux, you need two things. First,
|
||
|
|
you need /usr/include/sys/epoll.h . To get it, you can install the
|
||
|
|
userspace epoll library, epoll-lib. The link to the latest version
|
||
|
|
is buried inside
|
||
|
|
http://www.xmailserver.org/linux-patches/nio-improve.html ; currently
|
||
|
|
it's http://www.xmailserver.org/linux-patches/epoll-lib-0.9.tar.gz .
|
||
|
|
If you're having any trouble building/installing it, you can just copy
|
||
|
|
epoll.h from that tarball to /usr/include/sys as that's the only thing
|
||
|
|
from there that libevent really needs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Secondly, you need to declare syscall numbers of epoll syscalls, so
|
||
|
|
libevent can use them. Put these declarations somewhere
|
||
|
|
inside <sys/epoll.h>:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#define __NR_epoll_create 254
|
||
|
|
#define __NR_epoll_ctl 255
|
||
|
|
#define __NR_epoll_wait 256
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After this you should be able to build libevent with epoll support.
|
||
|
|
Once you build/install libevent, you don't need <sys/epoll.h> to
|
||
|
|
compile memcache or link it against libevent. Don't forget that for epoll
|
||
|
|
support to actually work at runtime you need to use a kernel with epoll
|
||
|
|
support patch applied, as explained in the README file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
BSD users are luckier, and will get kqueue support by default.
