II. CMake CMake(http://cmake.org) is used for building this project.

Generally, you should do something like this to make it work: mkdir {build_dir} cmake {project_dir} {build_dir} {build_dir} and {project_dir} are just placeholders for pathes to build directory and project directory, respectively.

A better approach would be to use cmake tools with GUI: ccmake cmake-gui

If cmake won't be able to find some of the libraries you will have to set their locations explicitly. The best approach for this is running ccmake or cmake-gui inside build directory.

III. Installing To get shortest_paths web service running you'll have to configure web server.

This covers configuring lighttpd: Edit lighttpd.conf (typically located in /etc/lighttpd) in the following ways:

1. Add mod_fastcgi to server.modules
2. Include following lines to the end of file: fastcgi.server = ( "/shortest-paths/" => (( "host" => "127.0.0.1", "port" => 1026, "check-local" => "disable" ))
   ) Then copy files from static_content folder to http server root directory(typically /var/www) and restart lighttpd.

After you compile shortest_paths you'll have to run it using spawn-fcgi: spawn-fcgi -p 1026 -- ./shortest-paths {path-to-graph} Here, {path-to-graph} is a placeholder to a file that was produced by osm_converter utility.
