Installing Wt with SAML support on Linux

Dependencies

Debian or Ubuntu

In order to build Wt with SAML support on Debian or Ubuntu, you can simply install the following packages:

apt install libsaml-dev opensaml-schemas xmltooling-schemas

From source

The following dependencies are usually available as a package on most distributions:

• Xerces-C++
• Apache Santuario / Apache XML Security for C++
• libcurl
• Boost (also a Wt dependency)
• OpenSSL (also an optional Wt dependency)

You can download sources for Log4Shib, XMLTooling, and OpenSAML from Shibboleth.

• Log4Shib
• XMLTooling and OpenSAML

Installation is a simple ./configure/make install. If you're installing into a prefix, you can use PKG_CONFIG_PATH:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX
make
make install

Configuring Wt

You need to set ENABLE_SAML to ON when configuring Wt. You can use SAML_ROOT to set a different prefix:

cmake path/to/sources -DENABLE_SAML=ON -DSAML_ROOT=$PREFIX
