Compiling twister on CentOS 6

##Install the development tools##

$ sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

or

$ sudo yum install autoconf automake libtool

##Install the required dependencies##

Because the current version of Berkeley-db and Boost in CentOS 6 is kinds of old, so it's need to compile and install them from source.

First make the working directory.

$ cd ~
$ mkdir twister
$ mkdir twister/deps

Compile Berkeley-db

$ cd ~/twister
$ wget http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-4.8.30.tar.gz
$ tar -xzf db-4.8.30.tar.gz 
$ cd db-4.8.30/build_unix/
$ ../dist/configure --prefix=/home/XXX/twister/deps/ --enable-cxx
$ make
$ make install

(Please replace all the 'XXX' in this tutorial with your login name.)

Compile Boost

$ cd ~/twister
$ wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.55.0/boost_1_55_0.tar.bz2/download -O boost_1_55_0.tar.bz2
$ tar -jxf boost_1_55_0.tar.bz2 
$ cd boost_1_55_0
$ ./bootstrap.sh 
$ ./b2 --prefix=/home/XXX/twister/deps/ link=static runtime-link=static install

The Openssl that in the CentOS repo lacks of some components, so compile and install it from source also.

$ cd ~/twister
$ wget https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.1i.tar.gz
$ tar -xzf openssl-1.0.1i.tar.gz 
$ cd openssl-1.0.1i
$ ./config --prefix=/home/XXX/twister/deps/ --openssldir=/home/XXX/twister/deps/openssl -fPIC shared
$ make
$ make install

##Compile the twister-core##

First install the Git tool if it doesn't install before.

$ sudo yum install git

Clone the twister-core source from Github.

$ cd ~/twister
$ git clone https://github.com/miguelfreitas/twister-core.git
$ cd twister-core
$ ./bootstrap.sh \
    --with-openssl=/home/XXX/twister/deps \
    --with-libdb=/home/XXX/twister/deps \
    --with-boost=/home/XXX/twister/deps
$ make

##Then the web part##

$ mkdir ~/.twister
$ git clone https://github.com/miguelfreitas/twister-html.git ~/.twister/html

##Start the twister daemon##

$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/XXX/twister/deps/lib/ /home/XXX/twister/twister-core/twisterd -daemon -rpcuser=user -rpcpassword=pwd -rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

Then open browser and goto http://127.0.0.1:28332/ ,enter "user" and "pwd" as the login username and password.
