Lighttpd

= Compiling Lighty on win32 =

cygwin

It just works as on Unix.

native win32

Starting with lighty 1.4.11-svn the source compiles on windows. Not all parts are ported, but it works in general.

=== Requirements ===

• Visual C++ (e.g. [http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/ Visual C++ Toolkit] or [http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/download/ Visual C++ 2005 Express])
• the win32-SDK from the [http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/usingpsdk Platform SDK] (tip: you don't need the full package)
• [http://www.scons.org/ SCons] (scons 0.96.91 or higher) which requires [http://www.python.org/ Python]

SCons needs a configfile in the same folder as the SConstruct file.

My config.py file looks like this:

{{{
prefix='c:/lighttpd-scons/'
VC_TOOLKIT_HOME='c:/Programme/Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003/'
PSDK_HOME='c:/Programme/Microsoft Platform SDK/'

1. with_mysql='/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config'
   with_pcre='no'
   with_openssl='no'
   with_gzip='no'
   with_bzip2='no'
   with_memcache='no'
   with_sqlite3='no'
   with_xml='no'
2. default 'no'
   build_static='yes'
3. default 'no'
   build_fullstatic='no'
4. default 'yes'
   build_dynamic='no'
   }}}

All the with_* options have to 'no' for now, build_static is the only way that works and VC_TOOLKIT_HOME and PSDK_HOME have to be set to the locations of the Visual C++ Toolkit and the Platform SDK.

{{{
$ scons
}}}

will build the lighty (lighttpd-semi-static.exe) in the 'build' directory.
