The test.cgi is perhaps the simplest possible working CGI program made with
the dullcgi framework. It displays an HTML page as configured in the
test.ini file (as [page default]), and that's all.
To build the CGI binary, just type ``make'' (or ``gmake'' if you're on a
BSD system), and it SHOULD build successfully. If it doesn't, please
contact the author. Well, you need gcc/g++ in your system (actually, of
_any_ version you can have; everything is known to build with gcc 3.*) and
GNU make, but that must suffice.
To run the example, copy the files test.cgi (which is the binary you've
just built) and test.ini to your web site's tree in a location where CGIs
are configured to run, and point your browser to it.
Please note the default test.ini file is somewhat sophisticated, in the
sense it instructs the program to display some useful information, uses the
[html] section to define some snippets etc. If you want a REALLY
minimalistic (well, dumb) configuration, please take a look at the dumb.ini
file; to use it, simply copy it to the same location where your CGI binary
is, and rename to ``test.ini''.
