Building Mosquitto
If you are unable to install Mosquitto using a package manager or the latest version you want to install is not available, then you can build it as described in this section.
:pencil2: The section also includes steps for building cJSON and libwebsockets, which may not be available for some Linux variants.
macOS
cd mosquitto-2.0.15
export OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl
cmake install -DDOCUMENTATION=NO -DWITH_PLUGINS=NO -DWITH_WEBSOCKETS=YES .
make
sudo make install
If thecmake command fails then install the command line tools and repeat.
xcode-select --install
Linux (Debian, Ubuntu)
cd mosquitto-2.0.15
sudo apt install -y g++ libc-ares-dev libssl-dev libcjson-dev libwebsockets-dev make
vi config.mk
# Enable websockets in config.mk:
WITH_WEBSOCKETS:=yes
make
sudo make install
Linux (Alpine)
cd mosquitto-2.0.15
sudo apk add g++ c-ares openssl-dev libwebsockets-dev
sudo apk add make cmake git
git clone https://github.com/DaveGamble/cJSON.git
cd cJSON
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install
sudo vi /etc/ld.so.conf
# Add the following line in /etc/ld.so.conf:
/usr/local/lib64
cd ..
vi config.mk
# Enable websockets in config.mk:
WITH_WEBSOCKETS:=yes
make
sudo make install
Linux (RedHat,Oracle Linux, Fedora, CentOS)
cd mosquitto-2.0.15
sudo dnf install -y cmake gcc-c++ openssl-devel c-ares-devel
git clone https://github.com/DaveGamble/cJSON.git
cd cJSON
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install
sudo vi /etc/ld.so.conf
# Add the following line in /etc/ld.so.conf:
/usr/local/lib64
sudo /sbin/ldconfig
cd ..
git clone https://github.com/warmcat/libwebsockets.git
cd libwebsockets
cmake .
make
sudo make install
cd ..
vi config.mk
# Enable websockets in config.mk:
WITH_WEBSOCKETS:=yes
make
sudo make install
Test:
mosquitto --version
If the above command displays the following error message:
mosquitto: error while loading shared libraries: libwebsockets.so.19: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
then set LD_LIBRARY_PATH as follows. Note that your directory path maybe different the one shown below.
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
