Installing Wt on Opensuse¶

This page needs to be updated for Wt 2.x.x. The dependency for Xerces has been dropped, and instead Mini-XML is used now. Also, Wt 2.x.x comes with a built-in httpd which can be used as an alternative for FastCGI based deployment.

• you need a couple of libraries - most stuff is already on CDs

<!-- -->

 yast --install cmake Xerces-c-devel boost-devel

• FastCGI is in the factory at repos.opensuse.org

<!-- -->

 wget http://repos.opensuse.org:/devel:/libraries:/c_c++/SUSE_Linux_10.1/i586/FastCGI-2.4.0-3.1.i586.rpm
 wget http://repos.opensuse.org:/devel:/libraries:/c_c++/SUSE_Linux_10.1/i586/FastCGI-devel-2.4.0-3.1.i586.rpm
 sudo rpm -i FastCGI-2.4.0-3.1.i586.rpm FastCGI-devel-2.4.0-3.1.i586.rpm 

• Don't install anything directly - do always use an rpm spec script. Here is one, just put the *.tar.gz into /your/own/rpm/SOURCES and call

<!-- -->

 rpmbuild -ba wt-library.spec 

• sudo rpm -i /your/own/rpm/RPMS/i586/wt-library-1.99.2.i586.rpm
