This is a prototype software program written in C that takes the contents of an LHP File (either HTML + C with FastCGI elements or just pure C with FastCGI elements) and compiles the contents into an EXE File compatible for a CGI enabled web-server.

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine.

Note: Your machine must be Unix-based for this program to work!

This program requires various prerequisite packages and so it is recommended that these are installed on an up-to-date system.

To update:

sudo apt-get update -y && sudo apt-get upgrade -y

To download the prerequisite packages:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server libmysqlclient-dev libfcgi libfcgi-dev gcc -y

First you must retrieve the C source code from this repository and then compile the program. To do this, follow the steps below:

1. Retrieve the C Source Code.

wget https://github.com/Iqrahaq/lhpCompiler/raw/master/lhpCompiler.c

2. Compile the program.

gcc lhpCompiler.c –o lhpCompiler

3. Run the program (with the following command structure).

./lhpCompiler [lhpFile]

Note: Any LHP Files used must be in Unix format , to convert to unix format run the following command:

dos2unix [lhpFile]
