INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR VARNISH 4.1.0 or 3.0.5 CYGWIN CYGPORT PACKAGES (32 or 64 bits):
The tar.xz package file is installed inside Cygwin environment using cygwin installer:
- 32 bits installer: http://cygwin.com/setup-x86.exe
- 64 bits installer: http://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe
Follow this steps:
1) Download setup-x64.exe (32 bits) or setup-x86_64.exe (64 bits) at localhost
2) Install CYGWIN enviroment executing installer
3) Option one:
3.1) Select "varnish" package from package list in Web category -> package will be download from cygwin servers
4) Option two:
4.1) Download cygport varnish-*.tar.xz varnish package files from https://sourceforge.net/projects/cygvarnish/files/cygport-packages/
4.2) Execute "setup.exe", select "Install from Local Directory" and select path where *.tar.xz files are located.
BUILD INSTRUCTIONS FROM CYGPORT PACKAGES:
1) Download cygport varnish-*-src.tar.xz varnish package files from https://sourceforge.net/projects/cygvarnish/files/cygport-packages/
2) Uncompress tar.xz files to /usr/src directory
3) Execute cygport commands:
3.1) cygport varnish-{version}.cygport prep
3.2) cygport varnish-{version}.cygport compile
3.3) cygport varnish-{version}.cygport install
4) Compiled binaries are copied to varnish-{version}/inst
BUILD INSTRUCTIONS FROM SOURCE:
If you want build varnish on cygwin from source you must:
1) Install CYGWIN environment from http://www.cygwin.com/ with the tools listed in: http://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/wiki/Installation
- A recent version of GCC (3.3.x or newer should be fine, 4.2.1 or newer recommended)
- A POSIX-compatible make (GNU make is fine)
- Recent versions of the GNU autotools ( automake, autoconf, libtool and ncurses)
- Docutils-0.7: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/
2) Download Varnish source from: http://www.varnish-cache.org
3) Apply cygwin-varnish patch to varnish source, file: varnish-{version}.src.patch from https://sourceforge.net/projects/cygvarnish/files/patch-files/
4) (optional) To reduce runtime DLL dependencies with Cygwin, install following native libraries:
4.1) PDCurses: http://pdcurses.sourceforge.net/ or https://sourceforge.net/projects/cygvarnish/files/third-party-win32-sources/
- Uninstall ncurses from cygwin or remove theirs DLL
- Compile PDCurses in Cygwin or Mingw (http://2cent-info.blogspot.com/2010/07/pdcurses-for-mingw32_19.html)
- Modify gccwin32.mak file, adding -mno-cygwin flag in CFLAGS, LDFLAGS and LIBFLAGS for native compilation
4.2) PCRE 7.0: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/pcre.htm or https://sourceforge.net/projects/cygvarnish/files/third-party-win32-sources/
- Replace cygwin *.dll, lib*.dll.a and *.pc files with native versions
5) Compile Varnish in Cygwin with standard instructions: http://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/wiki/Installation
- ./autogen.sh
- ./configure --prefix=/usr , ./configure --prefix=/usr/local or ./configure --prefix= with empty prefix, if you want to get shorter Windows Paths at the end.
- make
- make install
6) (optional) In order to save space you can create a minimal cygwin distribution only with varnish files, GCC files, cygwin1.dll, pcre.dll and pdcurses.dll.
