Building MongoDB
================
SCONS
---------------
For detail information about building, please see [the manual](http://dochub.mongodb.org/core/building).
If you want to build everything (mongod, mongo, tools, etc):
$ scons all
If you only want to build the database:
$ scons
To install
$ scons --prefix=/opt/mongo install
Please note that prebuilt binaries are available on [mongodb.org](http://www.mongodb.org/downloads) and may be the easiest way to get started.
SCONS TARGETS
--------------
* mongod
* mongos
* mongo
* mongoclient
* all
COMPILER VERSIONS
--------------
Mongo has been tested with GCC 4.x and Visual Studio 2008 and 2010. Older versions
of GCC may not be happy.
WINDOWS
--------------
See http://dochub.mongodb.org/core/buildingforwindows
Build requirements:
* vc++ express or visual studio
* python 2.5 (for scons - 2.6 might be needed for some regression tests)
* scons
* boost 1.35 (or higher)
Or download a prebuilt binary for Windows at www.mongodb.org.
UBUNTU
--------------
To install dependencies on Ubuntu systems:
# aptitude install scons build-essential
# aptitude install libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-thread-dev
To run tests as well, you will need PyMongo:
# aptitude install python-pymongo
Then build as usual with `scons`:
$ scons all
