Building the package yourself

If you have to build the package yourself, be sure to build a thread-safe version of the library. There's no explicit configuration switch for that. Just pay attention to the Checking pthread.h… yes line during configuration. If it's no, then you'll have to fix the configuration step yourself (see that comment).

Non thread-safe builds have been reported to not work with Trac in a multi-threaded setup (see the comment linked above).

On x86_64 platforms, the 0.10.x series is needed. For gcc4, the latest release (0.10.2) should be used.

ClearSilver 0.10.2

There's a typo in the configure scripts. You'll need to apply the following patch first:

configure

     BUILD_WRAPPERS="$BUILD_WRAPPERS python"

Then, you can call configure, for example like this:

./configure --prefix=/opt/clearsilver-0.10.2 \
  --with-python=/opt/python-2.4.2/bin/python \
  --disable-ruby --disable-java --disable-perl --disable-apache --disable-csharp

At this point, make && make install should work. (Be Warned: Should is very relative).

Note for NetBSD: you have to use GNUmake by using gmake because make doesn't work.
