Building from source

To build it from source you should install C compiler, cmake, geoip database files, geoip and fastcgi libraries and C headers. For example, to do it in debian, you could type this command:

$ apt-get install build-essential cmake libfcgi-dev libgeoip-dev geoip-database-contrib

Then you could build it via following commands:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make

Also you could build it without IPv6 support, just add -DWITH_IPV6:BOOL=OFF option to cmake.

$ cmake -DWITH_IPV6:BOOL=OFF ..
