How to compile the graph computing platfrom x-stream

First, you need to install boost. X-stream depend on boost library;

Install boost library with the following command

sudo aptitude install libboost-all-dev

After this, you can use the heads of the library, and the user program can be compiled. However, when you want to compile x-stream, some error will occur:

can not find library libboost_thread, and libboost_system.

To solve this, first, find these two libraries wit the following command:

sudo locate boost

After finding these two libraries, build the soft link with the following command:

in my environment, these two library are in the following directory: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

so,

sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_thread.so.1.54.0 /usr/lib/libboost_thread.so

sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_system.so.1.54.0 /usr/lib/libboost_system.so

.

Then download the sourcecode of x-stream:

git clone https://github.com/epfl-labos/x-stream.git
Go to the directory and run

make

sudo make install

Finished!
