Hey Carson,

Hmm, that didn't work either. I read elsewhere that new EC2 images should come online around the time that Fedora 13 is released. Currently that is scheduled for around the 25th of May. So, I think I'll wait a bit instead of struggling further.

In the meantime I'm making good progress with the Ubuntu 10.04 RC AMI.

Cheers

@chris you may try removing that line and seeing what happens. It could be that they have changed what is installed by default now.

Sorry, I'm a linux novice but I'm trying to follow your procedures.

The issue is that yum is erased by the first command in the shell script:

yum -y remove dmraid-1.0.0.rc14-4.fc8.i386 dmraid-1.0.0.rc14-4.fc8.i386 curl-7.18.2-7.fc8.i386

…so the rest of the script breaks. What am I missing?

Thanks!

@Theodore I don't know if is a way to get a compiled version without the web server. My guess is if there isn't a way to do it right now then they will probably add a way at some point. I think I've seen people talking about them adding support for loading the resulting application as a module.

Thanks so much for the great walkthrough; I'm running this on a Parallels fedora 12, and perhaps this is a non-Amazon quirk, but the build failed at 87% because it couldn't find 'libtbb.so.2'.

I had to expand the bit in that directory work to be:

cd tbb22_20090809oss
gmake
cp -Rp include/tbb/ /usr/include/
cp `pwd`/build/*_release/*.so /usr/lib/
cp `pwd`/build/*_release/*.so.2 /usr/lib/
ldconfig
cd ..

Are there any options that you know of to exclude the webserver from the binary? Or just get the c++ to compile myself? There are specific scripts that I want to run using

and I don't need apache built-in.

Thanks!

Yes, it is PHP turned into C++ code then compiled to a binary that has a built in web server. No support for Windows yet but looking at the code makes me think they are working on it or maybe thinking about it at least.

I'm not sure I fully understand.

Do I write a website in PHP and then use HipHop to build a binary which is the equivalent of my site and a web-server combined?

If so do you get the C++ source code or just a binary? Would you be able to compile the source in Visual Studio on Windows, or is it just a *nix thing?
