Compile Source Codes on Amazon Linux AMI

Compile on Amazon Linux AMI

(Edited on September 15, 2017, based on Amazon Linux AMI release 2017.03)

Log in to your amazon instance, and run the following commands:

sudo yum -y groupinstall "Development Tools"
sudo yum -y install wget zlib-devel

git clone https://github.com/zhanxw/rvtests
cd rvtests
# compile dynamic-linked executables
make STATIC_FLAG=""

If you encounter problems related to memory, for example, “virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory”, please try to allocate more swap space and compile again.

# allocate swap space
sudo fallocate -l 1G /mnt/1GB.swap
sudo mkswap /mnt/1GB.swap
sudo swapon /mnt/1GB.swap
# compile again
make STATIC_FLAG=""

After compilation, the executable file can be found under rvtests/executable. You can start with:
rvtests/executable --help
