-# Building Ice for C++ on Linux
-
-This file describes the Ice source distribution, including information about
-compiler requirements, third-party dependencies, and instructions for building
-and testing the distribution. If you prefer, you can install [binary
-packages][1] for supported platforms that contain pre-compiled libraries,
-executables, and everything else necessary to build Ice applications on Linux.
-
-## C++ Build Requirements
-
-### Operating Systems and Compilers
-
-Ice is expected to build and run properly on any recent Linux distribution for
-x86 and x86_64, and was extensively tested using the operating systems and
-compiler versions listed for our [supported platforms][2].
-
-### Third-Party Packages
-
-Ice has dependencies on a number of third-party packages. Install these packages
-before building Ice for C++:
-
- - [bzip][3] 1.0
- - [Expat][4] 2.1
- - [LMDB][5] 0.9.16 (LMDB is not required with the C++11 mapping)
- - [mcpp][6] 2.7.2 (with patches)
- - [OpenSSL][7] 1.0.0 or later
-
-Bzip, Expat and OpenSSL are included with most Linux distributions.
-
-ZeroC supplies binary packages for LMDB and mcpp for several Linux distributions
-that do not include them. You can install these packages as shown below:
-
-#### Amazon Linux
-```
-    wget https://zeroc.com/download/GPG-KEY-zeroc-release-B6391CB2CFBA643D
-    sudo rpm --import GPG-KEY-zeroc-release-B6391CB2CFBA643D
-    cd /etc/yum.repos.d
-    sudo wget https://dev.zeroc.com/rpm/thirdparty/zeroc-thirdparty-amzn1.repo
-    sudo yum install lmdb-devel mcpp-devel
-```
-#### RHEL 7
-```
-    wget https://zeroc.com/download/GPG-KEY-zeroc-release-B6391CB2CFBA643D
-    sudo rpm --import GPG-KEY-zeroc-release-B6391CB2CFBA643D
-    cd /etc/yum.repos.d
-    sudo wget https://dev.zeroc.com/rpm/thirdparty/zeroc-thirdparty-el7.repo
-    sudo yum install lmdb-devel mcpp-devel
-```
-#### SLES 12
-```
-    wget https://zeroc.com/download/GPG-KEY-zeroc-release-B6391CB2CFBA643D
-    sudo rpm --import GPG-KEY-zeroc-release-B6391CB2CFBA643D
-    sudo wget https://dev.zeroc.com/rpm/thirdparty/zeroc-thirdparty-sles12.repo
-    sudo zypper ar -f --repo zeroc-thirdparty-sles12.repo
-    sudo zypper install mcpp-devel
-```
-In addition, on Ubuntu and Debian distributions where the Ice for Bluetooth
-plug-in is supported, you will need to install these packages if you want to
-build the IceBT transport plug-in:
-
- - [pkg-config][8] 0.29 or later
- - [D-Bus][9] 1.10 or later
- - [BlueZ][10] 5.37 or later
-
-These packages are provided with the system and can be installed with:
-```
-    sudo apt-get install pkg-config libdbus-1-dev libbluetooth-dev
-```
-
-> *We have experienced problems with BlueZ versions up to and including 5.39, as
-well as 5.44 and 5.45. At this time we recommend using the daemon (`bluetoothd`)
-from BlueZ 5.43.*
-
-## Building Ice
-
-Review the top-level [config/Make.rules](../config/Make.rules) in your build
-tree and update the configuration if needed. The comments in the file provide
-more information.
-
-In a command window, change to the `cpp` subdirectory:
-```
-   cd cpp
-```
-Run `make` to build the Ice C++ libraries, services and test suite. Set `V=1` to
-get a more detailed build output. You can build only the libraries and services
-with the `srcs` target, or only the tests with the `tests` target. For example:
-```
-   make V=1 -j8 srcs
-```
-
-### Build configurations and platforms
-
-The C++ source tree supports multiple build configurations and platforms. To
-see the supported configurations and platforms:
-```
-    make print V=supported-configs
-    make print V=supported-platforms
-```
-To build all the supported configurations and platforms:
-```
-    make CONFIGS=all PLATFORMS=all -j8
-```
-
-### C++11 mapping
-
-The C++ source tree supports two different language mappings (C++98 and C++11).
-The default build uses the C++98 mapping. The C++11 mapping is a new mapping
-that uses new language features.
-
-To build the C++11 mapping, use build configurations that are prefixed with
-`cpp11`, for example:
-```
-    make CONFIGS=cpp11-shared -j8
-```
-
-## Installing a C++ Source Build
-
-Simply run `make install`. This will install Ice in the directory specified by
-the `<prefix>` variable in `../config/Make.rules`.
-
-After installation, make sure that the `<prefix>/bin` directory is in your
-`PATH`.
-
-If you choose to not embed a `runpath` into executables at build time (see your
-build settings in `../config/Make.rules`) or did not create a symbolic link from
-the `runpath` directory to the installation directory, you also need to add the
-library directory to your `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`.
-
-On an x86_64 system:
-
-    <prefix>/lib64                 (RHEL, SLES, Amazon)
-    <prefix>/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu  (Ubuntu)
-
-When compiling Ice programs, you must pass the location of the
-`<prefix>/include` directory to the compiler with the `-I` option, and the
-location of the library directory with the `-L` option.
-
-If building a C++11 program, you must define the `ICE_CPP11_MAPPING` macro
-during compilation with the `-D` option (`g++ -DICE_CPP11_MAPPING`) and add the
-`++11` suffix to the library name when linking (such as `-lIce++11`).
-
-## Running the Test Suite
-
-Python is required to run the test suite. Additionally, the Glacier2 tests
-require the Python module `passlib`, which you can install with the command:
-```
-    pip install passlib
-```
-After a successful source build, you can run the tests as follows:
-```
-    python allTests.py # default config and platform
-    python allTests.py --config=cpp11-shared # cpp11-shared config with the default platform
-```
-
-If everything worked out, you should see lots of `ok` messages. In case of a
-failure, the tests abort with `failed`.
