SMX Installation

Installing the RPM:

Optional prerequisites are unixODBC-2.x, openssl-0.9, gd-2.x, sqlite-3.x, and httpd-2.x.

We highly recommend getting the source from CVS and building RPMs for your own platform and specs. SMX RPM building is easy. Just run "make dist" for the tarball, and "rpmbuild -ta" for the rpm!

Getting the source from SVN:

svn checkout http://smx.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ smx-read-only

svn checkout https://smx.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ smx --username [your username]

That should get all the code.  If you want to submit a patch, run svn diff, and 
send the output to patches@smxlang.org.

Prerequisites for Linux:

You can install all of these as RPM's from www.rpmfind.net, or using apt-get, or yum:


Required for Crypto support: 
openssl, openssl-devel

Required for ODBC support: 
unixODBC, unixODBC-devel (fedora) OR unixodbc-dev (debian)

Required for IMAGE support: 
gd, gd-devel (graphics library by Thomas Boutell)

Required for SQLITE support: 
sqlite, sqlite-devel (sqlite)

Required for Apache 2.0 module support:
httpd-devel (fedora)  OR apache2-dev (debian)


Future versions of smx will probably REQUIRE sqlite, since it works so much more reliably than berkely and tdb, and seems to compile easliy on most platforms.

If desired for backward compatibility, download TDB from https://sourceforge.net/projects/tdb.

Once all the prerequisites are installed, you should be able to run:

./configure
./make
./make install


Go to the Configuring Apache section.

Prerequisites for Windows:

Download and compile the latest versions of apache and openssl from apache.org and openssl.org.

Windows compilation requires that you add all the .cpp and .h files for each directory to a separate project.

Make libsmx and modsmx DLL projects, and SMX an EXE project.

You will need to adjust paths, and manually create a config.h so that apache, apr, gd, sqlite, openssl and libsmx are all in your project's path.

Configuring Apache:


 The httpd.conf should have lines like this in it:
 
 LoadModule smx_module /usr/lib/libmodsmx.so
 AddHandler smx-parsed .htm
 AddHandler smx-parsed .html
 AddHandler smx-parsed .hmx


 and in the individual VirtualHost sections, you may want to have 
 something
 like:
 

 SMXInit %module(/var/www/html/global.htx) 


 That should do it -- please email with any steps that were different 
 in
 your configuration, or if you find any steps that were left out.
