Install modbus-client

Install libmodbus

From libmodbus documentation:

chmod +x ./autogen.sh
./autogen.sh
./configure
make install

May need to do this depending on distribution

cp src/.libs/libmodbus.so* /usr/lib/
ln -s -f /usr/lib/libmodbus.so.5.1.0 /usr/lib/libmodbus.so.5
ln -s -f /usr/lib/libmodbus.so.5.1.0 /usr/lib/libmodbus.so

Compile modbus-client

gcc modbus-client.c -o modbus-client `pkg-config --libs --cflags libmodbus`

Install modbus-server

Install libmodbus (see above) and inih

Compile modbus-server

gcc inih/ini.c modbus-server.c -o modbus-server -std=gnu99 `mysql_config --cflags --libs` `pkg-config --libs --cflags libmodbus`

cp modbus-server /usr/bin/

Make sure mysql is installed with libmysqlclient-dev

Choose a database and create the following table

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `modbusServer` (
	`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
	`regType` int(11) NOT NULL,
	`address` int(11) NOT NULL,
	`val` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
	`modifiedCount` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
	`updated` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
	PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
	KEY (`regType`),
	KEY (`address`),
	UNIQUE KEY (`regType`, `address`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;

Copy ini to /etc and fill in mysql information. Mysql user should have read/write access

cp modbus-server.ini /etc/

Run modbus-server

Optionally install modbus-server as a service

Install runit and execute the following commands

mkdir -p /etc/sv/modbus-server/log
mkdir /var/log/modbus-server
cat > /etc/sv/modbus-server/run <<- EOM
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/modbus-server 2>&1
EOM

cat > /etc/sv/modbus-server/log/run <<- EOM
#!/bin/sh
exec svlogd -tt /var/log/modbus-server/
EOM

chmod +x /etc/sv/modbus-server/run
chmod +x /etc/sv/modbus-server/log/run
ln -s /etc/sv/modbus-server /etc/service/
