C++11 compiler (tested with GCC 8.1.0, 12.2.0)
Sorry. I really like closures and shared_ptr, so support for earlier compiler versions is unlikely.
Note that the C++ standard--and GCC's implementation of it--is evolving. There may be problems when building with newer compiler versions. Build failure reports welcome!

btrfs-progs
Needed at runtime by the service wrapper script.

Linux kernel version gets its own page.

util-linux version that provides
blkid
command for the helper scriptscripts/beesd
to work
bees can be installed by following one these instructions:
bees is available for Arch Linux in the community repository. Install with:
$ pacman -S bees
or build a live version from git master using AUR:
$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/bees-git.git && cd bees-git && makepkg -si
bees is officially available in Gentoo Portage. Just emerge a stable version:
$ emerge --ask bees
or build a live version from git master:
$ emerge --ask =bees-9999
You can opt-out of building the support tools with
USE="-tools" emerge ...
If you want to start hacking on bees and contribute changes, just emerge the live version which automatically pulls in all required development packages.
Build with make
. The build produces bin/bees
which must be copied
to somewhere in $PATH
on the target system respectively.
It will also generate scripts/[email protected]
for systemd users. This
service makes use of a helper script scripts/beesd
to boot the service.
Both of the latter use the filesystem UUID to mount the root subvolume
within a temporary runtime directory.
$ apt -y install build-essential btrfs-tools markdown && make
$ apt -y install build-essential btrfs-progs markdown && make
See 'Dependencies' above. Package maintainers can pick ideas for building and configuring the source package from the Gentoo ebuild:
https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/tree/master/sys-fs/bees
You can configure some build options by creating a file localconf
and
adjust settings for your distribution environment there.
Please also review the Makefile for additional hints.
