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

          <simpara>
            Some operating systems have split their distribution packages into
            a run-time and a development package.  You will need to install
            the development package versions, which include header files and
            libraries, to build Kea from the source code.

          <para>
            When building from source code retrieved via Git, additional

          For example, the following command configures Kea to find the
          Boost headers in /usr/pkg/include, specifies that PostgreSQL
          support should be enabled, and sets the installation location
          to /opt/kea:

        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 three database backends: MySQL,
        PostgreSQL and Memfile. To limit external dependencies, both MySQL and PostgreSQL
        support are disabled by default and only Memfile
        is available. Support for the optional external database backend must be explicitly included when

        <title>Building with CQL (Cassandra) support</title>
        <para>
          Install Cassandra according to the instructions for your system. The
          Cassandra project webpage contains useful pointers: <ulink
          url="http://cassandra.apache.org/download/" />.
        </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" />. As of 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. There is a work in progress to contribute such a script to
          cpp-driver project. Until such contribution is accepted, there are
          intermediate steps that need to be conducted. The cql_config
          script and cql_config_defines.sh are temporarily stored in
          tools/ directory of the Kea sources. Before using it, please
          edit cql_config_defines.sh: change CPP_DRIVER_PATH to the directory,
          where cpp-driver sources are located. If 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:
          <screen><userinput>./configure [other-options] --with-cql=<replaceable>path-to-cql_config</replaceable></userinput></screen>
