Source Code

For Contributors

For read-only repository access:
git clone git://fiz.stanford.edu/git/ramcloud.git

Don't worry about having read-only access; it really shouldn't impede you. We'd prefer to pull changes from you or have you send patches (see git-format-patch and git-send-email. This lets us ensure that the fiz repo is generally in a working state and is making forward progress.

For Core Developers

For those with fiz accounts clone from here for write access:
git clone ssh://fiz.stanford.edu/git/ramcloud.git

Compiling

cd ramcloud; make

Interesting Targets

  • make - build the RAMCloud server and client software
  • Output obj.master/client/client, obj.master/server/server
  • Replace 'master' with the git local branch name you are on if it is not 'master'
  • make tests - build and run RAMCloud unit tests (requires CppUnit)
  • make check - currently runs Google style checker against files in the src directory; subject to check as style evolves
  • No labels
