ubuntu下编译安装libwebsockets


1.libwebsockets官网及GitHub地址

libwebsockets官网：​​https://www.libwebsockets.org/​​

GitHub地址：​​https://github.com/warmcat/libwebsockets​​

2.确保cmake、openssl安装成功

源码安装或是apt-get安装都可以。
我这里选择apt-get安装，方便一些。

sudo apt-get install cmake
sudo apt-get install openssl 
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

注意：apt-get安装openssl时还需要安装libssl-dev，否则会在后面找不到头文件，编译libwebsockets时提示找不到ssl.h等，此外，还需要注意openssl的版本好像要大于1.0.0，libwebsockets使用的openssl的版本有最低要求，具体参见官网说明。

3.Ubuntu下下载、编译及安装

准备好环境后就可以下载、编译及安装libwebsockets了：

git clone https://github.com/warmcat/libwebsockets.git
cd libwebsockets
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo

3.结果

只要准备好openssl、cmake等的安装，在Ubuntu下安装没有什么大的问题：

loon@loon-virtual-machine:~/work/libwebsockets/build$ cmake ..
...
 LWS_AVOID_SIGPIPE_IGN = OFF
 LWS_WITH_STATS = OFF
 LWS_WITH_SOCKS5 = OFF
 LWS_HAVE_SYS_CAPABILITY_H = 
 LWS_HAVE_LIBCAP = 
 LWS_WITH_PEER_LIMITS = OFF
 LWS_HAVE_ATOLL = 1
 LWS_HAVE__ATOI64 = 
 LWS_HAVE_STAT32I64 = 
 LWS_HAS_INTPTR_T = 1
 LWS_WITH_EXPORT_LWSTARGETS = ON

4.测试

安装完成后，可以直接使用libwebsockets提供的测试程序直接测试：

loon@loon-virtual-machine:~/work/libwebsockets/build$ libwebsockets-test-
libwebsockets-test-client          libwebsockets-test-server
libwebsockets-test-fuzxy           libwebsockets-test-server-extpoll
libwebsockets-test-lejp

比如libwebsockets-test-server:

loon@loon-virtual-machine:~/work/libwebsockets/build$ libwebsockets-test-server
[2018/09/08 11:06:57:1378] NOTICE: libwebsockets test server - license LGPL2.1+SLE

[2018/09/08 11:06:57:1403] NOTICE: Creating Vhost 'default' port 7681, 5

运行服务后访问服务器端的7681端口即可，当然也可以指定端口和资源，这里不再细说了。

5.最后

目前在Ubuntu16.04 64位下测试完成后，我通过交叉编译也移植了libwebsockets到openwrt下了（mips的cpu架构），运行效果还可以。
