h3. Build Wt from sources

See also http://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt/doc/reference/html/InstallationUnix.html

cd wt-x.y.z
mkdir build; cd build
cmake ..
make
make -C examples

To install wt in /usr/local:

sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

h2. Try the Examples

h4. From the Prebuilt Packages

• To build the examples, call CMake this way:

cmake -DWT_SOURCE_DIR=/usr/share/doc/witty-doc/ -DEXAMPLES_CONNECTOR="wt;wthttp" /usr/share/doc/witty-doc/examples

• Then go to /usr/share/doc/witty-doc/examples and enter the directory of the example you want to run.

• When running the example, set the docroot to "."

• For instance, if you compiled the examples in /home/user/dev/wtexamples, you would do:

$ mkdir /home/user/dev/wtexamples
$ cd /home/user/dev/wtexamples
$ cmake -DWT_SOURCE_DIR=/usr/share/doc/witty-doc/ -DEXAMPLES_CONNECTOR="wt;wthttp" /usr/share/doc/witty-doc/examples
$ make
$ cd /usr/share/doc/witty-doc/examples/charts
$ /home/user/dev/wtexamples/charts/charts.wt --http-port 10000 --http-addr 0.0.0.0 --docroot .

h4. From the Sources

• If you installed Wt using the source packages (http://sourceforge.net/projects/witty/files/), then you can find instructions on how to run the examples in the file INSTALL.html that is included in the main directory of the respective source package.

h4. Special Cases

• Please note the widget gallery example will not run properly unless you download tinymce and extract it the proper place.

• Please note the wtwithqt example needs Qt 4.x to run

h2. Using 'ccmake' to Edit Build Options

This is an easy, graphical way to edit the build options

cd build
ccmake .
