Wt, Some Build Modifications
Back on
2007/10/03, I wrote about installing Wt (a C++ library and application server for
developing and deploying web applications) on a Debian server. I've revised things a little
bit since thing while building Wt v2.1.3.
In this case, I build with the newly released version of the Boost libraries: 1.35.
ASIO is now included in Boost, so some build steps can be removed.
Prerequisites are little changed but for a different library for gd:
apt-get install gcc
apt-get install zlib1g
apt-get install zlib1g-dev
apt-get install libbz2-dev
apt-get install libgd2-noxpm-dev
apt-get install cmake
apt-get install libfcgi-dev
apt-get install libapache2-mod-fastcgi
apt-get install libssl-dev
The web site and repository for Wt have changed, so CVS commands will be a bit different:
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.webtoolkit.eu/opt/cvs login
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.webtoolkit.eu/opt/cvs co wt
I've changed the cmake/build a little bit so the results go into /usr/local/wt/include
and /usr/local/wt/lib:
cmake -D DEPLOYROOT=/var/www/wt -D WEBUSER=www-data -D WEBGROUP=www-data \
-D BOOST_DIR=/usr/local \
-D BOOST_COMPILER=gcc42 \
-D BOOST_VERSION=1_35 \
-D BOOST_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/include/boost \
-D BOOST_LIB_DIR=/usr/local \
-D BOOST_DT_LIB_MT=/usr/local/lib \
-D BOOST_DT_LIB=/usr/local/lib \
-D BOOST_FS_LIB=/usr/local/lib \
-D BOOST_FS_LIB_MT=/usr/local/lib \
-D BOOST_PO_LIB_MT=/usr/local/lib \
-D BOOST_REGEX_LIB_MT=/usr/local/lib \
-D BOOST_SIGNALS_LIB_MT=/usr/local/lib \
-D BOOST_THREAD_LIB=/usr/local/lib \
-D BOOST_ASIO_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/include/boost \
-D SHARED_LIBS=ON \
-D CONNECTOR_FCGI=OFF \
-D CONNECTOR_HTTP=ON \
-D EXAMPLES_CONNECTOR=wthttp \
-D WTHTTP_CONFIGURATION=/etc/wt/wthttpd \
-D CONFIGURATION=/etc/wt/wt_config.xml \
-D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/wt \
.
During make install, an error regarding CMakeFiles arises. The secret, that I know, is
to remove the line which includes CmakeFiles in src/Ext/cmake_install.cmake, and restart
'make install'. The install should complete normally.
The library directory /usr/local/wt/lib will need to be added to /etc/ld.so.conf, and
then run ldconfig to update things.
Remember to review the
Ext widgets deployment page as there are some additional files to be downloaded and
installed from Ext JS.
