When you are debugging your development work, you want to build PBS without any optimizations, and with the debug flag.
Here are the steps in https://github.com/PBSPro/pbspro/blob/master/INSTALL:
Install Any Dependencies (Only Needed First Time)
1. Install the prerequisite packages for building PBS Pro:
For CentOS systems, run the following command as root:
yum install -y gcc make rpm-build libtool hwloc-devel \
libX11-devel libXt-devel libedit-devel libical-devel \
ncurses-devel perl postgresql-devel python-devel tcl-devel \
tk-devel swig expat-devel openssl-devel libXext libXft \
autoconf automake
For openSUSE systems, run the following command as root:
zypper install gcc make rpm-build libtool hwloc-devel \
libX11-devel libXt-devel libedit-devel libical-devel \
ncurses-devel perl postgresql-devel python-devel tcl-devel \
tk-devel swig libexpat-devel libopenssl-devel libXext-devel \
libXft-devel fontconfig autoconf automake
For Debian systems, run the following command as root:
sudo apt-get install gcc make libtool libhwloc-dev libx11-dev \
libxt-dev libedit-dev libical-dev ncurses-dev perl \
postgresql-server-dev-all python-dev tcl-dev tk-dev swig \
libexpat-dev libssl-dev libxext-dev libxft-dev autoconf \
automake
2. Install the prerequisite packages for running PBS Pro. In addition to the commands below, you should also install a text editor of your choosing (vim, emacs, gedit, etc.):
For CentOS systems, run the following command as root:
yum install -y expat libedit postgresql-server python sendmail sudo tcl tk libical
For openSUSE systems, run the following command as root:
zypper install expat libedit postgresql-server python sendmail sudo tcl tk libical1
For Debian systems, run the following command as root:
apt-get install expat libedit2 postgresql python sendmail-bin sudo tcl tk libical1a
Check Your Git Environment
3. Make sure your Git environment is set up correctly.
Build PBS for Debugging
4. Open a terminal as a normal (non-root) user, unpack the PBS Pro tarball, and cd to the package directory:
tar -xpvf pbspro-14.0.1.tar.gz
cd pbspro-14.0.1
5. Generate the configure script and Makefiles. (See note 1 below):
./autogen.sh
6. Display the available build parameters:
./configure --help
7. Configure the build for your environment. You may utilize the parameters displayed in the previous step. (See note 2 below):
For CentOS and Debian systems you should run the following command:
./configure --prefix=/opt/pbs
For openSUSE systems (see note 3 below) you should run the following command:
./configure --prefix=/opt/pbs --libexecdir=/opt/pbs/libexec
8. Build PBS Pro by running "make". (See note 4 below):
make
9. Configure sudo to allow your user account to run commands as root. Refer to the online manual pages for sudo, sudoers, and visudo.
10. Install PBS Pro. Use sudo to run the command as root:
sudo make install
Install and Configure PBS
11. Configure PBS Pro by executing the post-install script:
sudo /opt/pbs/libexec/pbs_postinstall
12. Edit /etc/pbs.conf to configure the PBS Pro services that should be started. If you are installing PBS Pro on only one system, you should change the value of PBS_START_MOM from zero to one. If you use vi as your editor, you would run this:
sudo vi /etc/pbs.conf
13. Some file permissions must be modified to add SUID privilege:
sudo chmod 4755 /opt/pbs/sbin/pbs_iff /opt/pbs/sbin/pbs_rcp
14. Start the PBS Pro services:
sudo /etc/init.d/pbs start
15. All configured PBS services should now be running. Update your PATH and MANPATH variables by sourcing the appropriate PBS Pro profile or logging out and back in:
For Bourne shell (or similar) run the following:
. /etc/profile.d/pbs.sh
For C shell (or similar) run the following:
source /etc/profile.d/pbs.csh
Verify Your Installation
16. You should now be able to run PBS Pro commands to submit and query jobs. Some examples follow:
bash$ qstat -B

NOTES
- If you modify configure.ac or adjust timestamps on any files that are automatically generated, you will need to regenerate them by re-running autogen.sh.
- It is advisable to create a simple shell script that calls configure with the appropriate options for your environment. This ensures configure will be called with the same arguments during subsequent invocations. If you have already run configure you can regenerate all of the Makefiles by running "./config.status". The first few lines of config.status will reveal the options that were specified when configure was run. If you set environment variables such as CFLAGS it is best to do so as an argument to configure (e.g. ./configure CFLAGS="-O0 -g" --prefix=/opt/pbs). This will ensure consistency when config.status regenerates the Makefiles.
- The openSUSE rpm package expands %_libexecdir to /opt/pbs/lib rather than /opt/pbs/libexec which causes problems for the post- install scripts. Providing the --libexecdir value to configure overrides this behavior.
- You need to use a POSIX (or nearly POSIX) make. GNU make works quite well in this regard; BSD make does not. If you are having any sort of build problems, your make should be a prime suspect. Tremendous effort has been expended to provide proper dependency generation and makefiles without relying on any non-POSIX features. The build should work fine with a simple call to make, however, complicating things by using various make flags is not guaranteed to work. Don't be surprised if the first thing that make does is call configure again.
