Wt

i can't edit my post
so, i reply the right thing again:

i use cmake 2.8.2 to build wt-3.1.4 on Windows and Fedora linux
i found some problem:

1. on Windows(vc9):

wt-3.1.4/examples/CMakeLists.txt, see the bold code:

...
MACRO (WT_ADD_EXAMPLE name)
IF (${EXAMPLES_CONNECTOR} STREQUAL "wtisapi")
LIST (INSERT ${ARGV} 1 "SHARED")
ADD_LIBRARY(${ARGV})
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${name}
PROPERTIES LINK_FLAGS
"/EXPORT:HttpExtensionProc /EXPORT:GetExtensionVersion /EXPORT:TerminateExtension")
ELSE (${EXAMPLES_CONNECTOR} STREQUAL "wtisapi")
ADD_EXECUTABLE(${ARGV})
ENDIF (${EXAMPLES_CONNECTOR} STREQUAL "wtisapi")
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(${name} ${EXAMPLES_CONNECTOR})
ENDMACRO (WT_ADD_EXAMPLE)
...

perhaps the ${ARGV} is readonly in cmake 2.8.2
so the "SHARED" can't be inserted into ${ARGV}
the all examples in wt.sln(for vc9) will configured as static lib

change the code to this:
SET (TEMPLIST ${ARGV})
LIST (INSERT ${TEMPLIST} 1 "SHARED")
ADD_LIBRARY(${TEMPLIST})

the wt.sln will be OK

2. on Fedora linux(gcc, apache-2.2.16, mod_fcgi, wtfcgi...)

/wt-3.1.4/CMakeLists.txt, find this code:
SET (RUNDIR "/var/run/wt" CACHE PATH
"Default path for wt session management "
"(only used by FCGI connector; not relative to CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX)")

this code will cause a VERY long name directory at examples' runtime, such as:
"/var/run/wt; CACHE PATH ;Default path for wt session management ;(only used by FCGI connector; not relative to CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX)"
but NOT expected "/var/run/wt"

change the code to
SET (RUNDIR "/var/run/wt" CACHE PATH
"Default path for wt session management (only used by FCGI connector; not relative to CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX)")

cause the comment only one pair of "", will solve the problem
Is it cmake-2.8.2's bug?

it should be:

LIST(INSERT TEMPLIST 1 SHARED)

not

LIST(INSERT ${TEMPLIST} 1 SHARED)

i don't know the difference. but it really works differently.

Hey,

Thanks for letting us know and helping us resolve these build annoyances.

i use cmake 2.8.2 to build wt-3.1.4 on Windows and Fedora linux

...
MACRO (WT_ADD_EXAMPLE name)
IF (${EXAMPLES_CONNECTOR} STREQUAL "wtisapi")
LIST (INSERT ${ARGV} 1 "SHARED")
ADD_LIBRARY(${ARGV})

It appears that this has already been fixed in latest git.

2. on Fedora linux(gcc, apache-2.2.16, mod_fcgi, wtfcgi...)

/wt-3.1.4/CMakeLists.txt, find this code:
*SET (RUNDIR "/var/run/wt" CACHE PATH*
* "Default path for wt session management "*
* "(only used by FCGI connector; not relative to CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX)")*

this code will cause a VERY long name directory at examples' runtime, such as:
"/var/run/wt; CACHE PATH ;Default path for wt session management ;(only used by FCGI connector; not relative to CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX)"
but NOT expected "/var/run/wt"

It certainly looks like it is changed behaviour, but I guess it makes sense. We will apply your fix. Thanks !
