The following packages can be used to add features to mosquitto. See below for platform specific package lists.
- cJSON - required
- c-ares (libc-ares-dev on Debian based systems) - optional, enable with
WITH_SRV=yes - libedit - for mosquitto_ctrl interactive shell - optional, disable with
WITH_EDITLINE=no - libmicrohttpd - for broker http api support - optional, disable with
WITH_HTTP_API=no - openssl (libssl-dev on Debian based systems) - optional, disable with
WITH_TLS=no - pthreads - for client library thread support. This is required to support the
mosquitto_loop_start()andmosquitto_loop_stop()functions. If compiled without pthread support, the library isn't guaranteed to be thread safe. - sqlite3 - for persistence support in the broker - optional, disable with
WITH_SQLITE=no - uthash / utlist - bundled versions of these headers are provided, disable
their use with
WITH_BUNDLED_DEPS=no - xsltproc (xsltproc and docbook-xsl on Debian based systems) - only needed
when building from git sources - disable with
WITH_DOCS=no
For testing, the following packages are required:
- cunit
- googletest / gmock
- microsocks
- python
To compile you may either use CMake, or on Linux look in the file config.mk
for compile options and use plain make.
Up to version 2.1, the recommendation was to use CMake for Windows and Mac, and to use make everywhere else. The recommendation now is to use cmake in all cases, and that the plain makefiles will be removed in version 3.0.
If you have any questions, problems or suggestions (particularly related to installing on a more unusual device) then please get in touch using the details in README.md.
