0. BUILDING AND INSTALLATION (Briefly)

Autoconf

 $ ./configure
 $ make
 $ make verify   # (optional)
 $ sudo make install

CMake (General)

The following Libevent specific CMake variables are as follows (the values being the default).

…

More variables can be found by running cmake -LAH

CMake (Windows)

Install CMake:

 $ md build && cd build
 $ cmake -G "Visual Studio 10" ..   # Or whatever generator you want to use cmake --help for a list.
 $ start libevent.sln

CMake (Unix)

 $ mkdir build && cd build
 $ cmake ..     # Default to Unix Makefiles.
 $ make
 $ make verify  # (optional)

1. BUILDING AND INSTALLATION (In Depth)

Autoconf

To build Libevent, type

 $ ./configure && make

(If you got Libevent from the git repository, you will first need to run the included "autogen.sh" script in order to generate the configure script.)

You can run the regression tests by running

 $ make verify

Install as root via

 $ make install

Before reporting any problems, please run the regression tests.

To enable low-level tracing, build the library as:

 $ CFLAGS=-DUSE_DEBUG ./configure [...]

Standard configure flags should work. In particular, see:

 --disable-shared          Only build static libraries.
 --prefix                  Install all files relative to this directory.

The configure script also supports the following flags:

 --enable-gcc-warnings     Enable extra compiler checking with GCC.
 --disable-malloc-replacement
                           Don't let applications replace our memory
                           management functions.
 --disable-openssl         Disable support for OpenSSL encryption.
 --disable-thread-support  Don't support multithreaded environments.

CMake (Windows)

(Note that autoconf is currently the most mature and supported build environment for Libevent; the CMake instructions here are new and experimental, though they should be solid. We hope that CMake will still be supported in future versions of Libevent, and will try to make sure that happens.)

First of all install .

To build Libevent using Microsoft Visual studio open the "Visual Studio Command prompt" and type:

$ cd 
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake -G "Visual Studio 10" ..   # Or whatever generator you want to use cmake --help for a list.
$ start libevent.sln

In the above, the ".." refers to the dir containing the Libevent source code. You can build multiple versions (with different compile time settings) from the same source tree by creating other build directories.

It is highly recommended to build "out of source" when using CMake instead of "in source" like the normal behaviour of autoconf for this reason.

The "NMake Makefiles" CMake generator can be used to build entirely via the command line.

To get a list of settings available for the project you can type:

$ cmake -LH ..

GUI

CMake also provides a GUI that lets you specify the source directory and output (binary) directory that the build should be placed in.

2. USEFUL LINKS:

For the latest released version of Libevent, see the official website at .

There's a pretty good work-in-progress manual up at .

For the latest development versions of Libevent, access our Git repository via

$ git clone https://github.com/libevent/libevent.git

To report bugs, issues, or ask for new features:

Patches: https://github.com/libevent/libevent/pulls

OK, those are not really patches. You fork, modify, and hit the "Create Pull Request" button. You can still submit normal git patches via the mailing list.
