2008-03-11 19:44:06 Lighttpd Blackfin CGI framework
Philippe Le Gal (FRANCE)
Message: 52355 Hi
With your help, I successfully build and run Lighttpd-1.4.19 on a Blackfin 537 Stamp board.
Now, I'm looking for some advices to choose a CGI framework :
First I need to choose the langage :
- shell , C, C++, Perl, PHP ?
Is there any simple framework to build light dynamic/graphic html pages with some of these languages ?
I know that PHP can do the job on webserver, but on Blackfin ???
Thank for any advices and experiences on the subject...
Philippe

Message: 52357 people have used php on the Blackfin before. building php for the cgi version should work OK.
shell will also work, but obviously can be painful when doing anything but the basic stuff
and compiled language like C or C++ will be a huge pain as you attempt to do string manipulations
perl is very difficult to cross-compile if you want anything but micro-perl ... and that means just the very core perl language, no add on modules

I use PHP with bf537 and it works very well but it is huge and in our exprerience cause memory fragmentation.
I am considering to use the Lua scipt language instead of php.

I don't know very well perl and I'm affraid about the huge memory print of PHP.
I think I'll try Lua and recompile Lighttpd with its support.
I'll feedback on the mailing list.
Thanks
