My main idea...
As quoted from " https://sites.google.com/a/droboports.com/www/app-repository/lighttpd-1-4-30" lighttpd could be build "statically" for ARM. I dont own any hardware material for this architecture
You can do almost the same for arch=i386. By "almost the same" I mean that lighttpd 1.4.36 will be built with
| Package |
Version |
| Zlib | 1.2.8 |
| Bzip2 | 1.0.6 |
| Pcre | 8.37 |
| OpenSSL | 1.0.1p |
| Lua | 5.1.5 |
| LibXML2 | 2.9.2 |
| SQLite | 3081101 |
| UUID library (from e2fsprogs) | 1.42.13 |
and using
ldd you will get
root@amdgaming:~# ldd /opt/lighttpd/1.4.36/sbin/lighttpd
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb7794000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0xb7764000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7747000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0xb7599000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x8001e000)
Recent kernel/Old kernel for a deployment ?
Let suppose that you want to build lighttpd somewhere on on machine with a recent kernel and you want to deploy it on a machine with a kernel older
Before going ahead if your main goal is to deploy this on a machine and if all packages listed above are enough for your own uses then use file before
In my case lighttpd was built on a Kernel 4.1.6 with gcc-4.9.1 on Ubuntu 14.10 32 Bits
root@amdgaming:~# file /opt/lighttpd/1.4.36/sbin/lighttpd
/opt/lighttpd/1.4.36/sbin/lighttpd: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=9f2b11764c80ecfb2063116eae0e8c5f6a6ab5bb, stripped
As shown above lighttpd binary can work only with any kernel greater than 2.6.32. If your kernel on -- which lighttpd binary will be deployed -- is older than 2.6.32 then you will get the well-known error
FATAL: Kernel too old
So it means that for my own uses I can deploy it only on a machine with kernel >= 2.6.32.
Example: For a machine with a kernel like 2.6.20 on which lighttpd is supposed to be deployed then
- set up a VM with Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 or Ubuntu 8.04 -- Use a tool like Qemu or VMWare -- your favorite tool
- Build lighttpd on this VM.
