build prerequisites¶

lighttpd supports multiple build frameworks: automake, cmake, meson, and scons.

Ensure you have installed the latest development tools and packages available, e.g. for automake:

• autoconf
• automake
• libtool
• m4

A minimal lighttpd build typically leverages PCRE and pkg-config

• pcre-devel / libpcre3-dev
• pkg-config

Optional lighttpd modules may require one or more additional libraries, e.g. choices among TLS modules

• openssl
• gnutls
• mbedtls
• nss
• wolfssl

Further details can be found in lighttpd INSTALL (Please read)
