How I compiled LMS on Debian (DietPi) Trixie arm64

[38github]

On a Debian Trixie (DietPi) ARM64 installation, besides the mentioned needed packages, I had to install the following to be able to compile LMS and WT (which is needed) and are not in the Debian repositories:

libboost-thread1.88-dev libboost-filesystem1.88-dev libboost-program-options1.88-dev libboost-system1.88-dev libboost-iostreams1.88-dev libboost-iostreams1.88-dev

I then git cloned https://github.com/emweb/wt and compiled it before LMS. After compile and make install I compiled LMS and did make install. HOWEVER, an error at ~98% had to be fixed by updating /src/lms/ui/LmsTheme.hpp with the changes in c575f56 and df9dd6e commits.

Hopefully this is useful for someone.

The installation guide said to start service lms but there was none so I copied the file default.service to a working directory:
$ sudo cp /usr/share/lms/default.service /lib/systemd/system/lms.service

I had to create some symlinks in /usr/lib/ because the service complained that a few shared file could not be opened:

$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libwthttp.so /usr/lib/libwthttp.so.4.12.1
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libwtdbosqlite3.so /usr/lib/libwtdbosqlite3.so.4.12.1
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libwtdbo.so /usr/lib/libwtdbo.so.4.12.1

Now the service starts, throws no errors AND I can access the web interface.

In /etc/lms.conf I had to change wt-resources = "/usr/share/Wt/resources" to "/usr/local/share/Wt/resources"

Thnaks for sharing this!
Note that if you set up wt using -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr (as you likely did for LMS) you don't need these symlinks and to edit the lms.conf file.

Thanks for the prefix suggestion. I will do that next time!
