Building TurboLynx

Prerequisites

TurboLynx requires only standard compiler toolchain packages. All graph-related libraries are bundled.

Ubuntu 22.04 / Debian

sudo apt-get install -y \
    build-essential gcc-11 g++-11 \
    cmake ninja-build git \
    autoconf automake libtool pkg-config \
    ca-certificates

Fedora / RHEL

sudo dnf install -y gcc-c++ cmake ninja-build git autoconf automake libtool

macOS

macOS is not currently supported.

Build

git clone https://github.com/turbolynx-dslab/TurboLynx
cd TurboLynx
mkdir build && cd build

cmake -GNinja \
      -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
      -DENABLE_TCMALLOC=OFF \
      -DBUILD_UNITTESTS=OFF \
      -DTBB_TEST=OFF \
      ..

ninja

The first build downloads and compiles several bundled dependencies (TBB, hwloc, numactl, GP-Xerces), which takes approximately 3–5 minutes. Subsequent incremental builds complete in seconds.
