Why do I have to compile the library myself? I think it would be good if she was already there.

It is possible to provide precompiled drogon binaries, and with the amount of options drogon provides, there can only be few precompiled binaries with specific options.

Windows

  1. drogon-core
  2. drogon-core + MySQL
  3. drogon-core + PostgreSQL
  4. drogon-core + Sqlite3

Linux

Provide both .a and .so

1. x86_64

  1. drogon-core
  2. drogon-core + MySQL
  3. drogon-core + PostgreSQL
  4. drogon-core + Sqlite3

2. AArch64

  1. drogon-core
  2. drogon-core + MySQL
  3. drogon-core + PostgreSQL
  4. drogon-core + Sqlite3

macOS

  1. drogon-core
  2. drogon-core + MySQL
  3. drogon-core + PostgreSQL
  4. drogon-core + Sqlite3

There can be packages to be downloaded and installed with package managers.

sudo apt install libdrogon-dev -y
sudo apt install libdrogon-dev-mysql -y

I guess what @Mis1eader-dev is saying is that if we go that route, it will open up a Pandora’s box. How many Linux Distros alone will we provide binaries for?

I had problem to compile it. It only worked when I followed all steps presented in the wiki exactly. The problem is that I don't know how to uninstall and how to update it.

I think the project should provide only a .deb file compatible to Debian/Ubuntu, which are the base of most distros.

There is no point in generating precompiled binaries to Windows and OSX because they aren't good as web server. Arch Linux and Fedora aren't good as web server because they aren't stable distros. And CentOs has been discontinued.
