Installing libRETS on Ubuntu 14.04

install_librets

# Installing librets in Ubuntu 14.04 can actually be fairly painless.  Took me half an hour.
# I followed the instructions found at https://gist.github.com/sarkis/4472012 and made some modifications to keep it current.

cd ~/; mkdir src; cd src # or go to whatever folder you want to build source from
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev libexpat1-dev libcurl3-dev libboost-dev libboost-filesystem-dev antlr antlr3 libantlr-dev swig libboost-program-options-dev python-dev

# Swig preskociti
Download swig latest, unpack, read install file inside, and install
https://github.com/swig/swig/releases
$./autoconf.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install


# Download from source specific version(1.5.3)
https://github.com/NationalAssociationOfRealtors/libRETS/releases
cd into extracted downloaded sources (v. 1.5.3)
cd libRETS

change one part of the code in RetsExceptionContext.cpp on line 30 to:

RetsExceptionContext::RetsExceptionContext(const string & fileName,
                                           int lineNumber)
 {
     fs::path path(fileName);
     #if BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION < 3
     mFileName = path.filename();
     #else
     mFileName = path.filename().string();
     #endif
     mLineNumber = lineNumber;
 }
 
 and remove
 
#define BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION 2
 
 #undef BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION
#define BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION 3


./autogen
./configure CXXFLAGS=-fPIC CFLAGS=-fPIC CPPFLAGS=-fPIC --disable-java --disable-perl --disable-python --disable-php --enable-shared_dependencies --prefix=/usr/bin my_use_ruby=yes
make
sudo make install

irb

require 'librets_native'

# Afterward, if you want to get librets working for different ruby patchlevels you can just symlink librets_native.so:

cd ~/.rbenv/versions/1.8.7-p375/lib/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux
ln -s /home/martron/.rbenv/versions/1.8.7-p371/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/librets_native.so ./

# To test, just open irb:

require 'librets_native'
