||
| 6 | <pre> |
||
| 7 | pkg install boost-libs cmake |
||
| 8 | </pre> |
||
| 9 | |||
| 10 | Then download, extract and build Wt: |

| 12 | 13 | Timo Pallach | fetch https://github.com/emweb/wt/archive/x.y.z.tar.gz |
| 13 | tar xzf x.y.z.tar.gz |
||
| 14 | cd wt-x.y.z |
||
| 15 | 12 | Timo Pallach | mkdir build |
| 16 | cd build |
||
| 17 | cmake .. |
||
| 18 | make |
||

| 24 | 11 | Wim Dumon | h2. FreeBSD 10.0 |
| 25 | |||
| 26 | Minimal installation prerequisites: |
||
| 27 | <pre> |
||
| 28 | pkg install boost-libs cmake gmake |
||
| 29 | </pre> |
||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | Then download, extract and build Wt: |
||
| 32 | <pre> |
||
| 33 | wget -c http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/witty/wt-x.y.z.tar.gz |
||
| 34 | tar xvxf wt-x.y.z.tar.gz |
||
| 35 | cd wt-x.y.z |
||
| 36 | mkdir build |
||
| 37 | cd build |
||
| 38 | cmake .. |
||
| 39 | gmake |
||
| 40 | gmake -C examples |
||
| 41 | </pre> |
||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | Warning: FreeBSD's default make does not work with CMake generated build files. Be sure to use gmake! |

| 47 | h2. FreeBSD 7.2 |
||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | 4 | Pieter Libin | Just a few notes to help FreeBSD users to build Wt. I tested those tips on FreeBSD 7.2. |
| 50 | |||
| 51 | * For the cmake options : |
||
| 52 | |||
| 53 | <pre> |
||
| 54 | cmake -DBOOST_DIR=/usr/local -DBOOST_FS_LIB_MT=/usr/local -DBOOST_FS_LIB_MT=/usr/local/lib/libboost_filesystem.so ../ |
||
| 55 | </pre> |
||
| 56 | |||
| 57 | 10 | Koen Deforche | * This will build a non-threaded version of Wt, which is fine for playing around with the features, but a multi-threaded Wt build is to be preferred. Although boost for FreeBSD is multi-threaded, they do not have the signature -mt- in their library names, which is taken by the Wt build process as an indication that the boost libraries are multi-threaded. To force Wt to make a multi-threaded build, you need to edit your CMakeCache.txt and copy the value of each BOOST_xx_LIB variable to BOOST_xx_LIB_MT, specify the BOOST_THREAD_LIB_MT library, and add -lpthread to the WtFindBoost.txt cmake script (lines 223 - 229): |
| 58 | 4 | Pieter Libin | |
| 59 | <pre> |
||
| 60 | SET(BOOST_WT_LIBRARIES |
||
| 61 | 8 | Davis Peterson | ${BOOST_THREAD_LIB_MT} |
| 62 | ${BOOST_REGEX_LIB_MT} |
||
| 63 | 4 | Pieter Libin | ${BOOST_SIGNALS_LIB_MT} |
| 64 | ${BOOST_SYSTEM_LIB_MT} |
||
| 65 | ${BOOST_PO_LIB_MT} |
||
| 66 | ${BOOST_DT_LIB_MT} -lpthread) |
||
| 67 | </pre> |
||
| 68 | |||
| 69 | When running make, you should then get a line that says: |
||
| 70 | |||
| 71 | <pre> |
||
| 72 | ** Enabling multi threading. |
||
| 73 | </pre> |
||
| 74 | |||
| 75 | * Be sure to specify "www" for the WEBUSER and WEBGROUP configuration variables. Otherwise Wt will use "apache" user/group which doesn't exist by default on FreeBSD. |
||
| 76 | |||
| 77 | * To compile some examples, you need to replace "png12" by "png" because the PNG libray is simply named "libpng.so" on FreeBSD. |
||
| 78 | |||
| 79 | I hope those simple tips will help FreeBSD users to install and try Wt. |
