[squid-users] Compile and Install squid 3.5.12 in a fresh Linux OS

[Billy.Zheng (zw963)]

Hi, I have tried to compile and install Squid 3.5.12 in a fresh
CentOS 7 VPS host, because I doesn't understood so many configure,
so I just with minimum configure  I understood, I need openssl
to open a https port, and I need basic_auth to support user/password
authentication, so I just with following config:

./configure --build=x86_64-linux-gnu \
    --prefix=/usr \
    --exec-prefix=/usr \
    '--bindir=${prefix}/bin' \
    '--sbindir=${prefix}/sbin' \
    '--libdir=${prefix}/lib64' \
    '--libexecdir=${prefix}/lib64/squid' \
    '--includedir=${prefix}/include' \
    '--datadir=${prefix}/share/squid' \
    '--mandir=${prefix}/share/man' \
    '--infodir=${prefix}/share/info' \
    --localstatedir=/var \
    '--with-logdir=${localstatedir}/log/squid' \
    '--with-pidfile=${localstatedir}/run/squid.pid' \
    '--with-swapdir=${localstatedir}/spool/squid' \
    --sysconfdir=/etc/squid \
    --with-openssl \
    --enable-epoll \
    --enable-auth \
    --enable-auth-basic
    
it worked!

But compare to the CentOS 7 yum package version, I found my own less many
config. following is missing list I never use in my own compile version.

--host=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu \
--disable-strict-error-checking \
--disable-dependency-tracking \
--enable-follow-x-forwarded-for \
--enable-auth-ntlm=smb_lm,fake \
--enable-auth-digest=file,LDAP,eDirectory \
--enable-auth-negotiate=kerberos \
--enable-external-acl-helpers=file_userip,LDAP_group,time_quota,session,unix_group,wbinfo_group \
--enable-cache-digests \
--enable-cachemgr-hostname=localhost \
--enable-delay-pools \
--enable-icap-client \
--enable-ident-lookups \
--enable-linux-netfilter \
--enable-removal-policies=heap,lru \
--enable-ssl-crtd \
--enable-storeio=aufs,diskd,ufs \
--enable-wccpv2 \
--enable-esi \
--enable-ecap \
--with-aio \
--with-default-user=squid \
--with-filedescriptors=16384 \
--with-dl \
--with-pthreads
'build_alias=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu'
'host_alias=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu'
'CFLAGS=-O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions

-m64 -mtune=generic -fpie'
'PKG_CONFIG_PATH=:/usr/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig'

I want to use newest version Squid, but i think I perhaps missing
something important option maybe, which can cause risk in some case?

Could any please help me for a `standard necessary' configure arguments
for current 3.5 serious?

Or, just tell me, this worked, it is fine, and I will very happy to use.

btw: When I first install, ./configure is passed, but make is failed.
because I am not install gcc-c++. I have to install gcc-c++, reconfigure
again, make is passed. I thought if ./configure could detect gcc-c++
is not installed, will more good.

Thanks.
