True. And many of them make the additional assumption that you have 'ln -s'ed the Wt's resources folder into the example's source directory too. > cmake -DWT_SOURCE_DIR=/usr/share/doc/witty-doc/ > -DEXAMPLES_CONNECTOR="wt;wthttp" /usr/share/doc/witty-doc/examples Just curious, what does "wt;wthttp" do (versus "wthttp") ? > Then you run make in /home/user/dev/wtexamples > > Now, if you want to run the charts example, you can either: > > - Run /home/user/dev/wtexamples/charts/charts.wt --docroot > /usr/share/doc/witty-doc/examples/charts --http-port 10000 --http-addr > 0.0.0.0 > > - Or go into the /home/user/dev/wtexamples/charts directory, then run > ./charts.wt --docroot /usr/share/doc/witty-doc/examples/charts > --http-port 10000 --http-addr 0.0.0.0 > > Either way, your XML files, CSS files, etc are not found because they > are not opened taking the directory you specified with --docroot as > the "." directory for open, std::istream, etc. The "." directory is > the directory from where you run the binary (not even the directory > the binary is in). Would the following not work ? $ cd usr/share/doc/witty-doc/examples/charts; $ /home/user/dev/wtexamples/charts/charts.wt --docroot . --http-port 10000 --http-addr 0.0.0.0 > Am I wrong?

(I like docroot enforced > better, FWIW) I think docroot is enforced? At least, an empty value is not allowed. I have a /etc/wt/wthttpd that reads like this: docroot = . http-address = 0.0.0.0 http-port = 8080 And in this way I can run all the examples without any arguments from within their source directory. What exactly do you mean with enforcing? Regards, koen ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!
