1 # slowcgi-portable
2 
3 This is an **unofficial** portable version of [slowcgi(8)][slowcgi], a
4 FastCGI to CGI wrapper server.  It's intended to ship with as little
5 changes as possible to allow it to compile and work on a variety of
6 systems and otherwise follow closely the development in the OpenBSD
7 src tree.  All portable-specific commits have the "portable:" prefix
8 in the log message.

12 The versioning scheme follows the OpenBSD one, that's why the first
13 version is 7.2.

15 ## Building
16 
17 The dependencies are:
18 
19  - libevent
20 
21 and optionally pkg-config.
22 
23 To build, issue:
24 
25 	$ ./configure
26 	$ make
27 	# make install # eventually
28 
29 The build can be customized by passing arguments to the configure
30 script or by using a `configure.local` file; see `./configure -h` and
31 [`configure.local.example`](configure.local.example) for more
32 information.
33 
34 For Linux users with libbsd installed, the configure script can be
35 instructed to use libbsd as follows:
36 
37 	CFLAGS="$(pkg-config --cflags libbsd-overlay)" \
38 	    ./configure LDFLAGS="$(pkg-config --libs libbsd-overlay)"
