<H2><A NAME="compiling"></A> <A NAME="s2">2.</A> <A HREF="FAQ.html#toc2">Getting and Compiling Squid</A></H2>

<H2><A NAME="ss2.1">2.1</A> <A HREF="FAQ.html#toc2.1">Which file do I download to get Squid?</A>
</H2>

<P>You must download a source archive file of the form
squid-x.y.z-src.tar.gz (eg, squid-1.1.6-src.tar.gz) from
<A HREF="http://www.squid-cache.org/">the Squid home page</A>, or.
<A HREF="ftp://www.squid-cache.org/pub/">the Squid FTP site</A>.
Context diffs are available for upgrading to new versions.
These can be applied with the <EM>patch</EM> program (available from
<A HREF="ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/patch">the GNU FTP site</A>).</P>

<H2><A NAME="ss2.2">2.2</A> <A HREF="FAQ.html#toc2.2">How do I compile Squid?</A>
</H2>

<P>For <B>Squid-1.0</B> and <B>Squid-1.1</B> versions, you can just
type <EM>make</EM> from the top-level directory after unpacking
the source files.  For example:
<PRE>
        % tar xzf squid-1.1.21-src.tar.gz
        % cd squid-1.1.21
        % make
</PRE>
</P>
<P>For <B>Squid-2</B> you must run the <EM>configure</EM> script yourself
before running <EM>make</EM>:
<PRE>
        % tar xzf squid-2.0.RELEASE-src.tar.gz
        % cd squid-2.0.RELEASE
        % ./configure
        % make
</PRE>
</P>

<H2><A NAME="ss2.3">2.3</A> <A HREF="FAQ.html#toc2.3">What kind of compiler do I need?</A>
</H2>

<P>To compile Squid, you will need an ANSI C compiler.  Almost all
modern Unix systems come with pre-installed compilers which work
just fine.  The old <EM>SunOS</EM> compilers do not have support for ANSI
C, and the Sun compiler for <EM>Solaris</EM> is a product which
must be purchased separately.</P>

<P>If you are uncertain about your system's C compiler, The GNU C compiler is
available at
<A HREF="ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc">the GNU FTP site</A>.
In addition to gcc, you may also want or need to install the <EM>binutils</EM>
package.</P>

<H2><A NAME="ss2.4">2.4</A> <A HREF="FAQ.html#toc2.4">What else do I need to compile Squid?</A>
</H2>

<P>You will need 
<A HREF="http://www.perl.com/">Perl</A> installed
on your system.</P>

<H2><A NAME="ss2.5">2.5</A> <A HREF="FAQ.html#toc2.5">Do you have pre-compiled binaries available?</A>
</H2>

<P>The developers do not have the resources to make pre-compiled
binaries available.  Instead, we invest effort into making
the source code very portable.  Some people have made
binary packages available.  Please see our
<A HREF="http://www.squid-cache.org/platforms.html">Platforms Page</A>.</P>

<P>The 
<A HREF="http://freeware.sgi.com/">SGI Freeware</A> site
has pre-compiled packages for SGI IRIX.</P>

<P> 
Squid binaries for
<A HREF="http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=squid-2&amp;stype=all">FreeBSD on Alpha and Intel</A>.</P>

<P>Squid binaries for
<A HREF="ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/www/squid/README.html">NetBSD on everything</A></P>

<P>Gurkan Sengun has some
<A HREF="http://www.linuks.mine.nu/solaris/">Sparc/Solaris packages</A>
available.</P>

<P> 
Squid binaries for
<A HREF="http://www.acmeconsulting.it/SquidNT/download.html">Windows</A>.</P>

<H2><A NAME="ss2.6">2.6</A> <A HREF="FAQ.html#toc2.6">How do I apply a patch or a diff?</A>
</H2>

<P>You need the <CODE>patch</CODE> program.  You should probably duplicate the
entire directory structure before applying the patch.  For example, if
you are upgrading from squid-1.1.10 to 1.1.11, you would run
these commands:
<PRE>
        cd squid-2.5.STABLE3
        mkdir ../squid-2.5.STABLE4
        find . -depth -print | cpio -pdv ../squid-1.1.11
        cd ../squid-1.1.11
        patch -p1 &lt; /tmp/squid-2.5.STABLE3-STABLE4.diff

or alternatively

        cp -rl squid-2.5.STABLE3 squid-2.5.STABLE4
        cd squid-2.5.STABLE4
        zcat /tmp/squid-2.5.STABLE3-STABLE4.diff.gz | patch -p1
</PRE>

After the patch has been applied, you must rebuild Squid from the
very beginning, i.e.:
<PRE>
        make distclean
        ./configure ...
        make
        make install
</PRE>
</P>

<P>If your <CODE>patch</CODE> program seems to complain or refuses to work,
you should get a more recent version, from the
<A HREF="ftp://ftp.gnu.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/">GNU FTP site</A>, for example.</P>

<H2><A NAME="ss2.7">2.7</A> <A HREF="FAQ.html#toc2.7"><EM>configure</EM> options</A>
</H2>

<P>The configure script can take numerous options.  The most
useful is <CODE>--prefix</CODE> to install it in a different directory.
The default installation directory is <EM>/usr/local/squid/</EM>.  To
change the default, you could do:
<PRE>
        % cd squid-x.y.z
        % ./configure --prefix=/some/other/directory/squid
</PRE>
</P>

<P>Type
<PRE>
        % ./configure --help
</PRE>

to see all available options.  You will need to specify some
of these options to enable or disable certain features.
Some options which are used often include:</P>
<P>
<PRE>
  --prefix=PREFIX         install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
                          [/usr/local/squid]

<H2><A NAME="ss2.8">2.8</A> <A HREF="FAQ.html#toc2.8">undefined reference to __inet_ntoa</A>
</H2>

<P>by 
<A HREF="mailto:SarKev@topnz.ac.nz">Kevin Sartorelli</A>
and 
<A HREF="mailto:doering@usf.uni-kassel.de">Andreas Doering</A>.</P>

<P>Probably you've recently installed bind 8.x.  There is a mismatch between
the header files and DNS library that Squid has found.  There are a couple
of things you can try.</P>

<P>First, try adding <CODE>-lbind</CODE> to <EM>XTRA_LIBS</EM>  in <EM>src/Makefile</EM>.
If <CODE>-lresolv</CODE> is already there, remove it.</P>

<P>If that doesn't seem to work, edit your <EM>arpa/inet.h</EM> file and comment out the following:</P>
<P>
<PRE>
        #define inet_addr               __inet_addr
        #define inet_aton               __inet_aton
        #define inet_lnaof              __inet_lnaof
        #define inet_makeaddr           __inet_makeaddr
        #define inet_neta               __inet_neta
        #define inet_netof              __inet_netof
        #define inet_network            __inet_network
        #define inet_net_ntop           __inet_net_ntop
        #define inet_net_pton           __inet_net_pton
        #define inet_ntoa               __inet_ntoa
        #define inet_pton               __inet_pton
        #define inet_ntop               __inet_ntop
        #define inet_nsap_addr          __inet_nsap_addr
        #define inet_nsap_ntoa          __inet_nsap_ntoa

<H2><A NAME="dns-ttl-hack"></A> <A NAME="ss2.9">2.9</A> <A HREF="FAQ.html#toc2.9">How can I get true DNS TTL info into Squid's IP cache?</A>
</H2>

<P>If you have source for BIND, you can modify it as indicated in the diff
below.  It causes the global variable _dns_ttl_ to be set with the TTL
of the most recent lookup.  Then, when you compile Squid, the configure
script will look for the _dns_ttl_ symbol in libresolv.a.  If found,
dnsserver will return the TTL value for every lookup.</P>

<H2><A NAME="ss2.11">2.11</A> <A HREF="FAQ.html#toc2.11">Problems compiling <EM>libmiscutil.a</EM> on Solaris</A>
</H2>

<P>The following error occurs on Solaris systems using gcc when the Solaris C
compiler is not installed:
<PRE>
        /usr/bin/rm -f libmiscutil.a
        /usr/bin/false r libmiscutil.a rfc1123.o rfc1738.o util.o ...

        make: *** [all] Error 1
</PRE>

Note on the second line the <B>/usr/bin/false</B>.   This is supposed
to be a path to the <EM>ar</EM> program.  If <EM>configure</EM> cannot find <EM>ar</EM>
on your system, then it substitues <EM>false</EM>.</P>

<P>To fix this you either need to:
<UL>
<LI>Add <EM>/usr/ccs/bin</EM> to your PATH.  This is where the <EM>ar</EM>
command should be.  You need to install SUNWbtool if <EM>ar</EM>
is not there.  Otherwise,</LI>
<LI>Install the <B>binutils</B> package from

</H2>

<P>by 
<A HREF="mailto:nazard@man-assoc.on.ca">Doug Nazar</A></P>

<P>In order in compile squid, you need to have a reasonable facsimile of a
Unix system installed.  This includes <EM>bash</EM>, <EM>make</EM>, <EM>sed</EM>,
<EM>emx</EM>, various file utilities and a few more. I've setup a TVFS
drive that matches a Unix file system but this probably isn't strictly
necessary.</P>

<P>I made a few modifications to the pristine EMX 0.9d install.
<OL>
<LI>added defines for <EM>strcasecmp()</EM> &amp; <EM>strncasecmp()</EM> to <EM>string.h</EM></LI>
<LI>changed all occurrences of time_t to signed long instead
of unsigned long</LI>
<LI>hacked ld.exe
<OL>
<LI>to search for both xxxx.a and libxxxx.a</LI>
<LI>to produce the correct filename when using the
-Zexe option</LI>
</OL>
</LI>
</OL>
</P>

<P>You will need to run <EM>scripts/convert.configure.to.os2</EM> (in the
Squid source distribution) to modify
the configure script so that it can search for the various programs.</P>

<P>Next, you need to set a few environment variables (see EMX docs
for meaning):
<PRE>
        export EMXOPT="-h256 -c"
        export LDFLAGS="-Zexe -Zbin -s"
</PRE>
</P>

<P>Now you are ready to configure squid:
<PRE>
        ./configure
</PRE>
</P>
<P>Compile everything:
<PRE>
        make
</PRE>
</P>
<P>and finally, install:
<PRE>
        make install
</PRE>
</P>
<P>This will by default, install into <EM>/usr/local/squid</EM>. If you wish
to install somewhere else, see the <EM>--prefix</EM> option for configure.</P>

<P>Now, don't forget to set EMXOPT before running squid each time. I
recommend using the -Y and -N options.</P>

<H2><A NAME="building-Cygwin"></A> <A NAME="ss2.15">2.15</A> <A HREF="FAQ.html#toc2.15">Building Squid on Cygwin</A>
</H2>

<P>In order to compile squid, you need to have Cygwin fully installed.</P>

<P>Unpack the source archive as usual and run configure:
<PRE>
        ./configure
</PRE>
</P>
<P>Compile everything:
<PRE>
        make
</PRE>
</P>
<P>and finally, install:
<PRE>
        make install
</PRE>
</P>
<P>This will by default, install into <EM>/usr/local/squid</EM>. If you wish
to install somewhere else, see the <EM>--prefix</EM> option for configure.</P>

<P>Now, add a new Cygwin user - see the Cygwin user guide - and map it to
SYSTEM, or create a new NT user, and a matching Cygwin user and they
become the squid runas users.</P>

<P>Read the squid FAQ on permissions if you are using CYGWIN=ntsec.</P>

<P>After run squid -z.
If that succeeds, try squid -N -D -d1, squid should start. Check that there are no errors. If
everything looks good, try browsing through squid.</P>

<P>Now, configure cygrunsrv to run squid as a service as the chosen
usercode. You may need to check permissions here.</P>
