There are several dependences of zimg you should build and install before using zimg. And the version of cmake should >= 2.8, libevent should >= 2.0, libmemcached should >= 1.0.18.
Using Package Manage Tools
Mac OS X
If you are using Mac OS, building dependences through brew is easy.
brew install openssl cmake libevent libjpeg giflib libpng webp imagemagick libmemcached
Linux
If you are using Ubuntu, CentOS or other Linux distributions, you can get the libraries through its package manage tool.
NOTE 1: But some of their packages are too old for zimg. You may need to build them by source.
For example, CentOS has low version of cmake, libevent and libmemcached.
NOTE 2: Because of the different naming rules, some of the Linux package manage tool use xxx-dev or xxx-devel as the development package name. You may need to install these packages to build zimg.
For example, in CentOS you need install:
sudo yum install openssl-devel cmake libevent-devel libjpeg-devel giflib-devel libpng-devel libwebp-devel ImageMagick-devel libmemcached-devel
While in Ubuntu you need install these packages:
sudo apt-get install openssl cmake libevent-dev libjpeg-dev libgif-dev libpng-dev libwebp-dev libmagickcore5 libmagickwand5 libmemcached-dev
If you ensure the dependence packages are fit for zimg, goto zimg build section.
Build Dependences by Source Code
openssl
wget http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.1i.tar.gz
tar zxvf openssl-1.0.1i.tar.gz
cd openssl-1.0.1i
./config shared --prefix=/usr/local --openssldir=/usr/ssl
make && make install
cmake
wget http://www.cmake.org/files/v3.0/cmake-3.0.1.tar.gz
tar xzvf cmake-3.0.1.tar.gz
cd cmake-3.0.1
./bootstrap --prefix=/usr/local
make && make install
libevent
wget http://cloud.github.com/downloads/libevent/libevent/libevent-2.0.21-stable.tar.gz
tar zxvf libevent-2.0.21-stable.tar.gz
cd libevent-2.0.21-stable
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make && make install
libjpeg-turbo ( recommend )
To build libjpeg-turbo you must install nasm first.
wget https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/libjpeg-turbo/1.3.1/libjpeg-turbo-1.3.1.tar.gz
tar zxvf libjpeg-turbo-1.3.1.tar.gz
cd libjpeg-turbo-1.3.1
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-jpeg8
make && make install
libjpeg, giflib and libpng
Just using your system package. Source build is unnecessary.
webp
wget http://downloads.webmproject.org/releases/webp/libwebp-0.4.1.tar.gz
tar zxvf libwebp-0.4.1.tar.gz
cd libwebp-0.4.1
./configure
make
sudo make install
imagemagick
wget http://www.imagemagick.org/download/ImageMagick.tar.gz
tar zxvf ImageMagick.tar.gz
cd ImageMagick-6.9.1-10
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make && make install
libmemcached
wget https://launchpad.net/libmemcached/1.0/1.0.18/+download/libmemcached-1.0.18.tar.gz
tar zxvf libmemcached-1.0.18.tar.gz
cd libmemcached-1.0.18
./configure -prefix=/usr/local
make &&　make install
Build zimg
zimg
Now you can build zimg itself. If you want to gdb zimg, you can use make debug option.
git clone https://github.com/buaazp/zimg -b master --depth=1
cd zimg
make
If you want to enable cache to improve performance, or you want to store the images to a distributed storage backend, the softwares below is optional.
Build Optional Storage Backends
memcached ( optional )
wget http://www.memcached.org/files/memcached-1.4.19.tar.gz
tar zxvf memcached-1.4.19.tar.gz
cd memcached-1.4.19
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
make install
beansdb ( optional )
git clone https://github.com/douban/beansdb
cd beansdb
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
benseye ( optional )
git clone git@github.com:douban/beanseye.git
cd beanseye
make
SSDB ( optional )
wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/ideawu/ssdb/archive/master.zip
unzip master
cd ssdb-master
make
twemproxy ( optional )
git clone git@github.com:twitter/twemproxy.git
cd twemproxy
autoreconf -fvi
./configure --enable-debug=log
