WINDOWS_CYGWIN-INSTALL-WITH-GNU-MAKE

Winx/Cygwin based Installation

1. Download Cygwin setup.exe and follow instruction to install Cygwin, proceed with default settings.
2. After Cygwin is successfully installed, you can open a cygwin terminal to check whether Cygwin works.
3. Run the setup.exe to install further dependencies whenever required.
4. Following are the dependencies,
      gcc-g++
      GNU make
      openssl libraries and devel (use Cygwin_SSL_UnixOdbc_libs.zip from downloads section for version 1.0)
      unixODBC libraries and devel (not found in Cygwin reposistory, use Cygwin_SSL_UnixOdbc_libs.zip from download section)
      bison,yacc,flex,gdb,readline,binutils (for building and installing openssl and unixODBC)
5. Using Cygwin v1.7.14-2 and unixODBC v2.3.1.tar.gz, the install (./configure,make,make install) worked, you can copy the /usr/local/lib/libodbc* files to /usr/lib if you are
   confident enough of trying a manual install of unixodbc. Trying to build on prior versions of cygwin and unixodbc, i faced certain issues and wasn't able to successfully compile
   and build files, hence had provided the *_libs.zip file.
6. Copy bin/gcc-3 or bin/gcc-4 and rename it to gcc (the already existing link file gcc sometimes gives permission errors)
7. You can build and install openssl and unixodbc and copy the required library files to the cygwin lib folder. The already built libraries are present in the Cygwin_SSL_UnixOdbc_libs.zip file which can be copied to the lib folder directly.
8. Download the latest release tar file and extract it to the location of your choice under Cygwin installation.
9. Install Unix-ODBC and required odbc files for MySQL dependency and development files
10. Install Open-SSL as well and development files
11. Also included prototype.js in source for AJAX support
12. Go to the ffead-server/Release or ffead-server/Debug depending on whether you need to debug the server code
13. Open terminal and type "make all" and "make build-apps" to build the server and the default applications provided ("make all" will build ffead with all modules enabled)
14. From version 1.8 onwards you can also select modules to build within ffead using the make modules={comma separated module list} all command, for a complete list of modules names please refer Modules, for e.g, to only build modules webservice,binserialize and distocache use the command "make modules=webservice,binserialize,distocache all"
15. This will create the distribution folder named ffead-server inside ffead-server/Release or ffead-server/Debug folders accordingly
16. Type ./server.sh when inside the ffead-server folder to start the application server
17. Some sample default applications are already provided for your reference inside the ffead-server/web folder, the default application is served at urlpath /, the flexApp application at /flexApp and the oauthApp at /oauthApp
18. If you did not already perform "make build-apps", then to compile a given web application shared library go to the ffead-server/web/{default/flexApp/oauthApp/(your_custom_app)}/src/Debug folder and run "make all"
19. Place the generated application shared library inside the ffead-server/Release/ffead-server/lib or ffead-server/Debug/ffead-server/lib folder.
20. Place your custom web applications inside the ffead-server/Release/ffead-server/web folder (Note the application folder name will also be the URL path - application name)
