• install HTTP/2 benchmark tool h2load

Background

https://gist.github.com/sonots/2bdf6cd26c23ef44db71

Prerequisite

• OracleLinux 6.7 installed (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 6.7)

/etc/issue

Oracle Linux Server release 6.7

• Read : How to build from git https://github.com/tatsuhiro-t/nghttp2

Building from git

Building from git is easy, but please be sure that at least autoconf 2.68 is used:
$ autoreconf -i
$ automake
$ autoconf
$ ./configure
$ make

To compile the source code, gcc >= 4.8.3 or clang >= 3.4 is required.

Before compile ... required libraries

yum groupinstall "Development tools"
cd
git clone https://github.com/tatsuhiro-t/spdylay.git
git clone https://github.com/tatsuhiro-t/nghttp2.git

gcc -v
gcc version 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-16) (GCC)

We need to install newer gcc as well as Python 2.7 -
