$Id$ Rivet can be built under FreeBSD without any special tweaks. Rivet is a port in the FreeBSD ports tree. To build the latest one supported there, cd to /usr/ports/www/mod_rivet and do a make install or equivalent. To build from source, first you need to build and install Tcl and Apache... cd /usr/ports/lang/tcl85 make make install cd /usr/ports/www/apache22 make make install Since the maintainer of the Tcl stuff in the FreeBSD ports tree has chosen to have Tcl build in such a way that there can be multiple different versions on a system at the same time, stuff isn't quite in the expected place. Run configure in this directory with the following parameters: ./configure --with-tcl=/usr/local/lib/tcl8.5 If you want to build with debugging symbols enabled for debugging Apache and mod_rivet with gdb or whatever, add "--enable-symbols" to the above. Your mileage may vary.
