Requirements

Follow requirements for librdkafka compilation noted on librdkafka page https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka#requirements

To build 32-bit versions on 64-bit OS you need to have 32-bit versions of libraries and a toolchain.

#CentOS/RHEL
sudo yum install glibc-devel.i686 libgcc.i686 libstdc++.i686 zlib-devel.i686
# Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib

Librdkafka

Package installation

macOS

brew install librdkafka

Ubuntu/Debian(unstable)

sudo apt-get install librdkafka-dev

RHEL/CentOS

sudo yum install librdkafka-devel

Building from source

macOS and Linux

git clone https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka.git
cd librdkafka
make clean  # to make sure nothing left from previous build or if upgrading/rebuilding
# If using OpenSSL, remove --disable-ssl from configure command below
# On macOS with OpenSSL you might need to set `export OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2k` before proceeding


# 32 bit
./configure --prefix=$HOME --disable-sasl --disable-lz4 --disable-ssl --mbits=32 
# 64 bits
./configure --prefix=$HOME --disable-sasl --disable-lz4 --disable-ssl --mbits=64

make
make install

Step 2

Compile and install a shared object (it will be installed to $QHOME/). Make sure you have QHOME environment set.

// in kfk source folder
make
make install

Note: If compiling dynamically linked libkfk.so make sure you have librdkafka.so.1 in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$HOME/lib

To have launchd start kafka now and restart at login: brew services start kafka Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run: zookeeper-server-start /usr/local/etc/kafka/zookeeper.properties & kafka-server-start /usr/local/etc/kafka/server.properties
