• boost version >= 1.74.0
• GCC version >= 4.7
• MSVC version >= 14.0

Build

1. clone the software from the repsoistory

git clone https://github.com/bigvzhang/vhttp.git

2. goto the repository and create the build directory and then cd it

cd ${TheRepsitory}
mkdir build
cd build

3. use cmake to create projects and build

3.1 For windows, specify option -A with x64 to create a x64 solution or Win32 to create a Win32 solution. Then use msbuild to build the solution. For example:

REM if cmake fails to search boost dir, please set the following variables
REM SET BOOST_INCLUDEDIR={boost header dir}
REM SET BOOST_LIBRARYDIR={boost library dir}
REM SET PATH=%PATH%;{PATH_TO_CMAKE}
REM SETUP VC Enviroment, like:
REM "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat"
REM create solution
cmake ..\cmake -A x64
REM Build
MSBuild vhttp.sln /p:Configuration=Release;Platform=x64

3.2 For Linux, run cmake and then make

#if cmake fails to search boost dir, please set the following variable
#export BOOST_ROOT={boost install dir}
cmake ../cmake
make

Run

Usage: vhttp <address> <port> <doc_root> <threads>
Example:
    vhttp 0.0.0.0 8080 . 1
