# Perforce Open Source Command Line and API This is the source code for the Perforce command line and API. See LICENSE for all licensing information. ## Dependencies Outside of a C/C++ compiler you will need Jam (Just Another Make), a build system written by Christopher Seiwald. A source bundle can be found here: https://swarm.workshop.perforce.com/files/public/jam/jam-2.6.rc1.zip ## To build the Perforce command line interface From the root of the p4 source run: jam p4 Jam may ask you to specify an OS version if it cannot determine it. For example on OS X running 'jam p4' will return: Set OSVER to 104, 105, or 106 for MACOSX To set any options in Jam use the '-s' flag. For the example above you would run: jam -sOSVER=106 p4 Builds will be placed in a directory called 'p4-bin/bin.[OS][OSVER]' at the same level as your p4 directory. ## Building with SSL server support If you wish to build p4 with support for SSL servers you will need to add '-sSSL=yes' to the Jam call and place builds of libssl and libcrypto from OpenSSL 1.0.1g into the 'p4-bin/lib.[OS][OSVER]' where 'p4-bin' is the same directory mentioned above. ## To build the Perforce API From the root of the p4 source run: jam -sPRODUCTION=1 p4api.tar As with building p4, Jam may ask you to specify an OS version.
