          In addition to the run-time requirements (listed in <xref

            Some operating systems have split their distribution packages into

            the development package versions, which include header files and

        Kea stores its leases in a lease database.  The software has been
        written in a way that makes it possible to choose which database product
        should be used to store the lease information.  At present, Kea supports
        four database backends: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Cassandra and Memfile. To
        limit external dependencies, MySQL, PostgreSQL and Cassandra support are
        disabled by default and only Memfile is available. Support for the
        optional external database backend must be explicitly included when Kea
        is built.  This section covers the building of Kea with one of the
        optional backends and the creation of the lease database.

      <note>

          When unit tests are built with Kea (the --with-gtest configuration option is specified),
          the databases must be manually pre-configured for the unit tests to run.
          The details of this configuration can be found in the
          <ulink url="http://git.kea.isc.org/~tester/kea/doxygen">Kea Developer's
          Guide</ulink>.

        <title>Building with MySQL Support</title>
        <para>
          Install MySQL according to the instructions for your system.  The client development
          libraries must be installed.
        </para>
        <para>
          Build and install Kea as described in <xref linkend="installation"/>, with
          the following modification. To enable the MySQL database code, at the
          "configure" step (see <xref linkend="configure"/>), the --with-dhcp-mysql switch
          should be specified:
          <screen><userinput>./configure [other-options] --with-dhcp-mysql</userinput></screen>
	      If MySQL was not installed in the default location, the location of the MySQL
          configuration program "mysql_config" should be included with the switch, i.e.
          <screen><userinput>./configure [other-options] --with-dhcp-mysql=<replaceable>path-to-mysql_config</replaceable></userinput></screen>
        </para>

        <title>Building with PostgreSQL support</title>
        <para>
          Install PostgreSQL according to the instructions for your system.  The client development
          libraries must be installed. Client development libraries are often packaged as &quot;libpq&quot;.
        </para>
        <para>
          Build and install Kea as described in <xref linkend="installation"/>, with
          the following modification. To enable the PostgreSQL database code, at the
          "configure" step (see <xref linkend="configure"/>), the --with-dhcp-pgsql switch
          should be specified:
          <screen><userinput>./configure [other-options] --with-dhcp-pgsql</userinput></screen>
	      If PostgreSQL was not installed in the default location, the location of the PostgreSQL
          configuration program "pg_config" should be included with the switch, i.e.
          <screen><userinput>./configure [other-options] --with-dhcp-pgsql=<replaceable>path-to-pg_config</replaceable></userinput></screen>
        </para>

        <title>Building with CQL (Cassandra) support</title>
        <para>
          Install Cassandra according to the instructions for your system. The
          Cassandra project website contains useful pointers: <ulink
          url="http://cassandra.apache.org" />.
        </para>
        <para>
          Download and compile cpp-driver from DataStax. For details regarding
          dependencies for building cpp-driver, see the project homepage
          <ulink url="https://github.com/datastax/cpp-driver" />. In June
          2016, the following commands were used:
          <screen>
$ <userinput>git clone https://github.com/datastax/cpp-driver</userinput>
$ <userinput>cd cpp-driver</userinput>
$ <userinput>mkdir build</userinput>
$ <userinput>cmake ..</userinput>
$ <userinput>make</userinput>
</screen>
        </para>
        <para>
          As of June 2016, cpp-driver does not include cql_config script
          yet. Work is in progress to contribute such a script to the
          cpp-driver project but, until that is complete,
          intermediate steps that need to be conducted. A cql_config script is present in the
          tools/ directory of the Kea sources. Before using it, please
          edit cql_config_defines.sh in the same directory and change the
          environment variable CPP_DRIVER_PATH to point to the directory,
          where cpp-driver sources are located. (If the cpp-driver sources already
          provide cql_config script please use that rather than the version
          from Kea sources.)
        </para>
        <para>
          Build and install Kea as described in <xref linkend="installation"/>, with
          the following modification. To enable the Cassandra (CQL) database code, at the
          "configure" step (see <xref linkend="configure"/>), do:
