Install prebuild binaries¶

You may want to have a look at the opensuse build service repositories, we have packages available for:

• CentOS 5
• Debian 7.0 (wheezy)
• Fedora 13
• Redhat RHEL 5
• openSUSE 11.1, 11.2, 11.3 and Factory
• SUSE Linux Enterprise 11
• Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic), 10.04 (lucid)

They are hosted either in the server:http or home:stbuehler:lighttpd2 projects:

• http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/http/ (https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=server%3Ahttp)
• http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/stbuehler:/lighttpd2/ (https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Astbuehler%3Alighttpd2)
  You can additionally use the "nightlies" repository; our buildbot will update it after every git commit automatically (it may depend on packages from home:stbuehler:lighttpd2)
  • http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/stbuehler:/lighttpd2-nightlies/ (https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Astbuehler%3Alighttpd2-nightlies)
• Debian builds are available at https://debian.lighttpd.net/

Install from source¶

Dependencies¶

• c compiler :)
• pkg-config - best way to find many libs
• meson
• libev
• libidn
• ragel
• glib2.0 (>= 2.16)
• lua 5.1 (optional) (highly recommended) (must be lua 5.1; not any other lua version)
• zlib1g (optional: for mod_deflate deflate/gzip compression)
• libbz2 (optional: for mod_deflate bzip2 compression)
• libssl (optional: for ssl)

Get Source¶

You can either checkout our git sources, or take a distbuild tar from https://download.lighttpd.net/lighttpd/snapshots-2.0.x/

git checkout¶

• First time: git clone https://git.lighttpd.net/lighttpd/lighttpd2.git && cd lighttpd2
  This creates a new directory "lighttpd2" in your current directory with the sources in it.
• Update: git pull
  If you applied own patches, you might want to use git fetch; git rebase origin/master to keep your patches or git fetch; git reset --hard origin/master to use our current head.

If you don't have git installed you can download a git snapshot from https://git.lighttpd.net/lighttpd/lighttpd2.git/commit/

• lighttpd2-master.zip
• lighttpd2-master.tar.gz
  It is the same as a git checkout (without the .git directory ofc) and counts as "git checkout" too here :)
  This tars are not the same as a distbuild tar!

distbuild¶

Download it and extract it as always: tar -xf https://download.lighttpd.net/lighttpd/snapshots-2.0.x/lighttpd-2.0.0-snap-XXX.tar.gz

Configure + Build¶

meson setup --buildtype debugoptimized -Dbzip2=false --prefix /usr/local build
cd build
meson compile
meson test

Install¶

meson install
