Question

I would like to write a lighttpd plugin, as explained here. I use lighty for Windows, with the pre-compiled package from here.

It appears that to make a plugin, I need to modify source code and recompile lightly. Problem is, the Windows project doesn't contain source code to build for windows. It only contains the final binaries.

Is there a solution here? Or do I need to "re-invent the wheel" and get the original lighty source compiling on Windows myself, if I want to be able to make a plugin for it?

Was it helpful?

Solution

For making a lighttpd plugin in Windows, 
You have to get a source and then compile through cygwin or mingw.
Because @WLMP only service lighttpd binary file with other modules for windows.
  1. Lighttpd 1.5 with mingw : Need svn (dowloading source), MinGW, CMake, FastCgi, OpenSSL.
  2. Cygwin Lighttpd with SSL : A little old contents related with lighttpd v1.4.20 and Cygwin.
Unfortunately there is no VC build environment for lighttpd lately.
But based on reference 1&2, You can build your own lighttpd plugin.
