Wt

Ok, there isn't any Wt development build available from yum. So that must be the reason why these files aren't present on the server after package install. I'll just keep debug on my local machine and release on the server since the package manager installs seem to work now for boost (header and non-header libraries) on my server.

Another question: I guess when deploying an application the files need to be recompiled on the server, right? I can't compile locally and then push to the server? If I have SVN hosted separately I don't want to compile locally, push to SVN, and then deploy to server, right? But means manual log in to server to recompile with each push. How do you guys work around this issue? I'm sorry if some of these questions are lame but I'm still a bit new to C web application development.

Are there any *nix flavors, incidentally, that have development builds of Wt included in their package manager? That would be nice.

I'm still not sure that I understand why the package installation on Fedora 17 doesn't have FindWt.cmake file in it. Could you please explain that to me?

Apparently the packager decided not to include it. I don't know who packaged the fedora binary.

It's not an absolute requirement to have FindWt.cmake, but it's convenient if the file is installed with the proper contents by the package.

Even if FindWt.cmake is not on the Fedora distribution, shouldn't the package have the configuration file present, as indicated in the section of the error message:

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Wt" with any of
  the following names:

    WtConfig.cmake
    wt-config.cmake

I am at a loss here as to how one can build the Wt binary if the configuration file is not even present? No cmake file exists having "wt" in its name.

[root@st ~]# find / -name "*wt*.cmake" -type f
[root@st ~]#
[root@st ~]# find / -name "*Wt*.cmake" -type f
[root@st ~]#
[root@st ~]#

I don't get it. The yum package manager installs Wt. Now what? None of the files that I would expect to see are present on the server (not just FindWt.cmake)

[root@st ~]# find / -name "*.cmake" -print | xargs grep "WtInstall"
[root@st ~]#
[root@st ~]# find / -name "FindWt.cmake"
[root@st ~]#
[root@st ~]# find /etc/wt -name "CMakeLists.txt"
[root@st ~]#
[root@st ~]#

So, it Wt already built or what? Because I don't see any source code; no build files; and no examples to build either.

[root@st ~]# find / -name "*Auth_xml.C*" -type f
[root@st ~]#
[root@st ~]# find / -name "*hello.wt*" -type f
[root@st ~]#

What is the purpose of this package? All that I can find are some libraries in lib64, a config file, and a resources folder:

[root@st ~]# find / -name "*libwt.so*" -type f
/usr/lib64/libwt.so.3.2.2
[root@st ~]# ls -al /etc/wt/
total 32
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root  4096 Jul  8 16:34 .
drwxr-xr-x. 74 root root  4096 Jul 23 03:29 ..
-rw-r--r--.  1 root root 21867 Sep 13  2012 wt_config.xml
[root@st ~]# dir /usr/share/Wt
resources
[root@st ~]#

Basically, WTF?

Hello Brad,

I'm not familiar with wt on fedora, but maybe you're missing the wt-devel (or wt-dev or similar) package? Do you have the header files? e.g. in /usr/include/Wt?
