lost fastcgi libs on github

[bubacxo]

I found the long-lost libs for fastcgi on github.
https://github.com/FastCGI-Archives

(if this isn't news, sorry. i did a search or two...)

A guy rescued them using archive.org's wayback machine.
Maybe someone could update the link on the wikki? (I'm new here...)

The page has several sets of the libs, and it's a little confusing.
I first downloaded the one labeled FastCGI.com (which are from the original fastcgi.com site, which is dead.)
I think those match the .bi files under /inc/fastcgi in the freebasic distribution.
I had no luck building those in msys2 in windows.
it looks like maybe they might work under linux. (anybody want to try?)

The ones under the link https://github.com/FastCGI-Archives/fcgi2 built without a hitch
following the instructions at the bottom of the page, like so:

Code: Select all

$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure prefix=$my_prefix
$ make && make install

i remember the fcgi2 project was, i think, just a fork of the aging fastcgi project
but I don't know yet whether they work with
the .bi files. Will check it out.

If you experiment with these libs, or have any thoughts about
how to get fastcgi working again, i would be very interested.

thanks,
james
