Gluing Couchbase Lite to Couchbase Server

The Sync Gateway manages HTTP-based data access for mobile clients. It handles access control and data routing, so that a single large Couchbase Server cluster can manage data for multiple users and complex applications.

To build Sync Gateway from source, you must have the following installed:

• Go 1.5 or later with your $GOPATH set to a valid directory
• GCC for CGO (required on Sync Gateway 1.2 or later)

Warning: while this is the easiest way to build sync gateway from source, there are known issues with this approach that cause certain tests to fail! To be able to run the full unit test suite and have it pass, skip down to the approach to build from source with dependency pinning.

go get -u -t github.com/couchbase/sync_gateway/...

After this operation completes you should have a new sync_gateway binary in $GOPATH/bin
