Should I use haproxy's "linux2628" or "linux26" make target?

  • 772

With the latest versions of HAProxy, simply typing make does not work, returning the following message:

Due to too many reports of suboptimized setups, building without specifying the target is no longer supported. Please specify the target OS in the TARGET variable, in the following form:

make TARGET=xxx

Please choose the target among the following supported list :

linux2628, linux26, linux24, linux24e, linux22, solaris freebsd, openbsd, cygwin, custom, generic

Use "generic" if you don't want any optimization, "custom" if you want to precisely tweak every option, or choose the target which matches your OS the most in order to gain the maximum performance out of it. Please check the Makefile in case of doubts.

What is the difference between linux2628 and linux26 ? Can I use linux2628 even if I have a newer kernel version?

    Yes, you may use linux2628.

    From the gmane.comp.web.haproxy mailing list (taken from 1.5-dev11's changelog)

    - added a build target "linux2628" which is like linux26 but automatically
includes splicing and tproxy.
