The following HOWTO introduces the building of UCI (Unified Configuration Interface) on Mac OS X.
1.Some extra package are required:
$ sudo port install lua cmake
2.The libubox library is required. It should to compiled from source. To do this, first you have to get the source from git:
$ git clone git://nbd.name/luci2/libubox.git
$ cd libubox
3. Please follow the next steps to build libubox:
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make ubox
4. Install libubox:
$ sudo mkdir -p /opt/local/include/libubox
$ sudo cp ../*.h /opt/local/include/libubox
$ sudo cp libubox.dylib /opt/local/lib
5. Get UCI source from git:
$ git clone https://github.com/JackieXie168/uci.git
$ cd uci
6.Please follow the next steps to build uci:
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make uci cli
7.Install uci:
$ sudo mkdir -p /opt/local/include/uci
$ sudo cp ../uci.h ../uci_config.h /opt/local/include/uci
$ sudo cp ../uci_blob.h ../ucimap.h /opt/local/include/uci
$ sudo cp libuci.dylib /opt/local/lib
$ sudo cp uci /opt/local/bin
8.Testing:
$ mkdir test
$ cat > test/test << EOF
> config 'test' 'abc'
> option 'test_var' 'value'
> EOF$ uci -c `pwd`/test show test
test.abc=test
test.abc.test_var=value
$ uci -c `pwd`/test set test.abc.test_var=foobar
$ uci -c `pwd`/test commit test
$ uci -c `pwd`/test show test
test.abc=test
test.abc.test_var=foobar
