Build on Linux

For Ubuntu based Linux distributions.

NOTE: The usage of C++17 filesystem library requires GCC to be version 8 and above. It means that Webcc will not compile on Ubuntu LTS 18.04.

Install Build Essential

sudo apt install build-essential

Install CMake

sudo apt install cmake

Install Zlib & OpenSSL

sudo apt install zlib1g-dev libssl-dev

Build Webcc

Create a build folder under the root (or any other) directory, and cd to it:

mkdir build
cd build

Generate Makefiles with the following command:

cmake -G"Unix Makefiles" \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~ \
    -DWEBCC_ENABLE_LOG=1 \
    -DWEBCC_LOG_LEVEL=0 \
    -DWEBCC_ENABLE_SSL=1 \
    -DWEBCC_ENABLE_GZIP=1 \g
    -DWEBCC_ENABLE_AUTOTEST=OFF \
    -DWEBCC_ENABLE_UNITTEST=OFF \
    -DWEBCC_ENABLE_EXAMPLES=OFF \
    ..

NOTE: You can create a script (e.g., gen.sh) with the above command to avoid typing again and again whenever you want to change an option.

Feel free to change the build options according to your need.

CMake variable CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX defines where to install the output library and header files. The default is /usr/local. But this feature needs rework. I should come back to this later.

If everything is OK, you can then build with make:

make -j4

The number after -j depends on how many CPU cores you have. You can just ignore -j option.

Install the libraries:

make install

If you WEBCC_ENABLE_AUTOTEST was ON, you can run the automation test:

cd autotest
./webcc_autotest
