Web site

Compiling from source

Building from the repository

To build from the repository, you will require autoconf, automake, and libtool tools to be available, typically available on your distribution either by default or by running the following on Debian-based systems:

sudo apt-get install autoconf automake libtool

or, for Yum-based systems, such as RedHat, CentOS or Fedora:

sudo yum install autoconf automake libtool

or, for Pacman-based systems such as ArchLinux:

sudo pacman -Sy autoconf automake libtool

To check out the code from GitHub, do the following:

git clone http://github.com/cherokee/webserver.git

Once cloned, cd into the resulting source directory and run ./autogen.sh to set up the environment and generate ./configure:

cd webserver
./autogen.sh [options]
make
make install

./autogen.sh will accept any optional parameters otherwise typically passed to ./configure; in doing so you can avoid needing to run ./configure separately.

Several examples of using ./autogen.sh follow shortly in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section.

Building from a tar.gz file

After downloading (likely from http://www.cherokee-project.com/downloads.html) and extracting, you should run ./configure, with options as appropriate. The standard options are documented in the INSTALL file. Typically, the most interesting options are:

  • the usual --prefix=/usr
  • --localstatedir=/var
  • --sysconfdir=/etc

After running ./configure, issues the make command, and then make install (excuting this last command as root if the destination permissions require that).

Tying this all together will result in commands like the following:

wget http://www.cherokee-project.com/download/trunk/cherokee-latest-snapshot.tar.gz
tar xf cherokee-latest-snapshot.tar.gz
cd cherokee-latest-snapshot
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
make
sudo make install

The exact options passed to ./configure can vary based upon your configuration.
