How to compile and install the Redwax Server from source, or through the building of RPM or Debian packages.
Compile from source and generate RPM packages for Redhat/Fedora systems.
The mod_ca module must be built first, as each subsequent
module depends on headers provided by this core module.
To compile an RPM, each module is built as follows:
rpmbuild -tb mod_ca-x.y.z.tar.bz2
The rpmbuild tool will complain if the required development
packages have not been installed. Install any missing packages with
yum or dnf.
Compile from source and generate Debian packages for Debian/Ubuntu systems.
The mod_ca module must be built first, as each subsequent
module depends on headers provided by this core module.
To compile each Debian package, each module is built from the root of the source as follows:
cd mod-ca-x.y.z
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
The dpkg-buildpackage tool will complain if the required development
packages have not been installed. Install any missing packages with
apt-get.
Compile from source and install to the local machine from scratch.
The Redwax server build requires a development environment with the following headers present:
| ANSI-C Compiler | An ANSI-C Compiler and Build System is required. |
| Apache HTTP server | Version 2.4.0 and above is supported. |
| OpenSSL | Version 1.0.0 and above is supported. |
The mod_ca module must be built first, as each subsequent
module depends on headers provided by this core module.
To compile from source, each module is built as follows:
./configure --with-apxs=/usr/bin/apxs
make
make install
The --with-apxs parameter needs to point to the
apxs build script from the Apache httpd development
environment.
The destination paths are picked up from the apxs
script.
