<h1>Building from Source Code</h1>
|
|
<p>This document describes the process to build the software from source for a supported platform.
|
|
The source distribution contains all the necessary source files, headers and tools to
|
|
reconfigure, build and verify the software. </p>
|
|
|
|
<a id="platforms"></a>
|
|
<p>Several build environments are supported:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><b>Linux</b> — Linux 2.6 with GNU C/C++</li>
|
|
<li><b>Windows</b> — Microsoft Windows 7 with Visual Studio 2010 or later</li>
|
|
<li><b>Mac OSX</b> — Mac OSX 10.7 (Lion) or later</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>The source code has been designed to run on FreeBSD, Linux, Mac OSX, Solaris Windows, VxWorks and other
|
|
operating systems. It has been tested under Fedora and Ubuntu Linux based on the Linux 2.6 Kernel, Microsoft
|
|
Windows XP, Vista, 7 (32 and 64-bit), VxWorks 5.4, 6.3 and MAC OSX 10.7. Both single and multi-cpu systems are
|
|
supported.</p>
|
|
<p>If you are wanting to run the software to an unsupported platform,
|
|
you are welcome to try your hand at adapting it to a new platform. The software is quite portable. See
|
|
the <a href="porting.html">Porting Guide</a> for more details. </p>
|
|
<p>If you want to build using source from the source code repository, please read these <a href=
|
|
"#repository">additional instructions</a>.</p>
|
|
<a id="env"></a>
|
|
<h2 class="section">Preparing the Environment</h2>
|
|
<p>Before building, you may need to install required tools such as cross-compilers, SDKs, and system
|
|
libraries. If you wish to build the software with the support of third-party packages such as
|
|
MatrixSSL or OpenSSL, you may need to download the source from the relevant vendor and build the
|
|
required libraries for the software to utilize.</p>
|
|
<h3>Windows</h3>
|
|
<p>To build on Windows, you will need to install Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0 or later. Either the full
|
|
product or the express editions will work fine. You will also need to
|
|
install the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsserver/bb980924.aspx">Windows SDK</a>.
|
|
<p>Before building or configuring, you need to define certain Microsoft compiler environment variables as
|
|
described in the Microsoft Visual Studio installation. These variables are the PATH, INCLUDE and LIB
|
|
variables. They need to be
|
|
defined so they will contain references to where the Microsoft compiler and libraries are installed on your
|
|
system. The <em>vcvarsall.bat</em> command supplied with Visual Studio is the normal way to define these
|
|
variables.</p>
|
|
<h3>Unix / Linux</h3>
|
|
<p>To build on Linux, you may need to install the libpam and zlib libraries.</p>
|
|
<a id="overview"></a>
|
|
<h2 class="section">Build Overview</h2>
|
|
<p>The software supports three methods of building from source.
|
|
Building via <em>make</em> is the simplest and quickest way to build. Use make if you are looking to build
|
|
and move on. Choose make also, if you need to integrate the product into an existing make-based
|
|
build system.</p>
|
|
<p>Build via <em>bit</em> is the better choice if you are cross-compiling or
|
|
will be working with the software for a longer period of time. Bit offers a more configurable build and is
|
|
faster and more flexible than make. </p>
|
|
<p>Select the appropriate instructions:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="make.html">How to build with Make</a></li>
|
|
<li><a href="bit.html">How to build with Bit</a></li>
|
|
<li><a href="ide.html">How to build with IDE</a></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<a id="ssl"></a>
|
|
<h2 class="section">Building SSL Providers</h2>
|
|
<p>Appweb support four SSL providers: OpenSSL, MatrixSSL, Mocana NanoSSL and EST. EST is included with
|
|
Appweb and no additional instructions are required. If building MatrixSSL or Mocana NanoSSL from
|
|
source code, please consult the additional <a href="ssl.html">SSL Provider Build Instructions</a>.</p>
|
|
<a id="repository"></a>
|
|
<h2 class="section">Building from the Repository</h2>
|
|
<p>You can checkout a copy of the product source code from the official source code repository via:</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
git clone <a href="http://github.com/embedthis/appweb-4">http://github.com/embedthis/appweb-4</a>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>There are three repository branches that you can select:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>stable — Source code for the most recent release.</li>
|
|
<li>master — Most recent, quasi-stable development snapshot.</li>
|
|
<li>dev — Current source code under active development. Least stable.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Once checked out, the normal instructions for building from source apply.</p>
|
|
|
|
<a id="directories"></a>
|
|
<h2 class="section">Key Directories</h2>
|
|
<p>Source trees contain the following key directories under the top directory.</p>
