Kaspersky Scan Engine

Building executable files for the HTTP service and the HTTP client

You can compile the kavehttpd service and the sample HTTP client from the source code located in the %service_dir%/samples/kavhttp/ directory.

Software requirements

To compile kavehttpd service and the sample HTTP client, you must install the following software on you computer:

• Boost 1.60 or later. The kavehttpd service source files are liked with Boost dynamically, which requires the boost-devel package.

  The boost libraries must be compiled statically. You can find a list of the necessary boost libraries in %service_dir%/samples/kavhttp/Makefile.

• OpenSSL library. It is recommended to install the openssl-devel package.
• PostgresSQL libraries. It is recommenced to install the libpqxx-devel package.
