Collecting tips and tricks that makes a CouchDB developer's life easier.
If you find yourself building CouchDB from scratch a lot the following shell script function might save some typing. This is sh-script, but only tested on bash. Add it to your .bashrc or .profile file or wherever you store shell customisations.
buildcouch()
{
if test -z "$1"; then
echo "speficy target dir"
return
fi
./bootstrap && \
./configure --prefix=$1 && \
make -j4 && \
make install
}It gives you a new command in your shell buildcouch (just change the function name if you don't like it). Set the make -j value to the number of cores in your system +1.
cd Work/couchdb/trunk buildcouch /path/to/testinstall
