The following shell script can be used to download the components needed for building Webalizer.  It first needs to be modified to reflect the directory where you would like files to be downloaded and build.  Look for the line that reads TARGETDIR=/home/USERNAME/webalizer and modify it accordingly.

The script is displayed on this page for easy viewing, but if you are going to use it, it would be best to download the actual source file.

Click here to download the script to build Webalizer.

# 1. Create the webalizer directory.

mkdir $TARGETDIR/

# 2. Make the directory where the required library files will be stored.

mkdir $TARGETDIR/lib

# 3. Make a directory to store the source code for the libraries you will use.

mkdir $TARGETDIR/sources

# 4. Download and build the bzip2 library
# (http://www.bzip.org/, http://www.bzip.org/downloads.html)

cd $TARGETDIR/sources
wget http://www.bzip.org/1.0.5/bzip2-1.0.5.tar.gz
tar xvfz bzip2-1.0.5.tar.gz
cd bzip2-1.0.5/
make
make install PREFIX=$TARGETDIR

# 5. Download anb build the matching version of the Berkeley DB library.

cd $TARGETDIR/sources
wget http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-4.4.20.tar.gz
tar xvfz db-4.4.20.tar.gz
cd db-4.4.20/build_unix/
../dist/configure --prefix=$TARGETDIR
make
make install

# 6. Download and build Webalizer
# (http://www.webalizer.org/, http://www.webalizer.org/download.html)

cd $TARGETDIR/sources
wget ftp://ftp.mrunix.net/pub/webalizer/webalizer-2.21-02-src.tgz
tar xvfz webalizer-2.21-02-src.tgz
cd webalizer-2.21-02/
./configure --prefix=$TARGETDIR --with-language=english --enable-dns --enable-bz2 --enable-geoip --with-bz2lib=$TARGETDIR/lib --with-bz2=$TARGETDIR/include
make
make install

# 7. Install the Webalizer binaries in the webalizer folder

cd $TARGETDIR
cp bin/webalizer .
ln -s webalizer webazolver

# 8.  Include the following lines at the top of any scripts which run Webalizer.

# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$TARGETDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

# Step 9 is needed in order for Webalizer to find all the libraries it needs
# to run.  An alternative is to compile Webalizer statically by adding the
# --enable-static parameter to the configure script.  Doing this eliminates the
# need for step 9.  However, the webalizer binary grows in size from 320 kilobytes
# to 1.9 megabytes.  According to the compiler messages, there could be
# other caveats, which aren't covered in these instructions.
