编译源码
libevent是一个Reactor事件库。
我的理解，就是封装了select、epoll、poll的函数库。有使用select，poll，epoll的需求就可以使用的。
官网地址：https://libevent.org/
下载源码：
https://github.com/libevent/libevent/releases/download/release-2.1.12-stable/libevent-2.1.12-stable.tar.gz
下载后解压源码：
tar zxvf libevent-2.1.12-stable.tar.gz
在源码目录下创建_install目录，然后执行 ./configure --prefix=/big/libevent/libevent-2.1.12-stable/_install。
/big/libevent/libevent-2.1.12-stable/_install这个就是编译后安装的目录。详细步骤如下所示：
lkmao@ubuntu:/big/libevent$ ls
libevent-2.1.12-stable libevent-2.1.12-stable.tar.gz
lkmao@ubuntu:/big/libevent$ cd libevent-2.1.12-stable/
lkmao@ubuntu:/big/libevent/libevent-2.1.12-stable$ mkdir _install
lkmao@ubuntu:/big/libevent/libevent-2.1.12-stable$ cd _install/
lkmao@ubuntu:/big/libevent/libevent-2.1.12-stable/_install$ pwd
/big/libevent/libevent-2.1.12-stable/_install
lkmao@ubuntu:/big/libevent/libevent-2.1.12-stable/_install$ cd ..
lkmao@ubuntu:/big/libevent/libevent-2.1.12-stable$ ./configure --prefix=/big/libevent/libevent-2.1.12-stable/_install
这一步是用来生成编译时用的makefile文件，其中，--prefix用来指定Libevent的安装目录。输入make进行编译，成功后再输入make install，然后就可以看到/big/libevent/libevent-2.1.12-stable/_install下面已经有文件生成了：
lkmao@ubuntu:/big/libevent/libevent-2.1.12-stable$ make
/*略*/
lkmao@ubuntu:/big/libevent/libevent-2.1.12-stable$ make install
/*略*/
lkmao@ubuntu:/big/libevent/libevent-2.1.12-stable$ cd _install/
lkmao@ubuntu:/big/libevent/libevent-2.1.12-stable/_install$ ls
bin include lib
其中include是存放头文件的目录，lib是存放动态库和静态库的目录。接下来用一个小程序来测试是否工作正常。
二 创建项目并测试
创建一个目录，用于存放我们的工程文件和源码：
lkmao@ubuntu:/big/libevent/libevent-2.1.12-stable/_install$ mkdir learn
lkmao@ubuntu:/big/libevent/libevent-2.1.12-stable/_install$ cd learn/
在目录下创建三个文件，
- 编译脚本build.sh
- cmake文件CMakeLists.txt
- 源码文件main_01.c
lkmao@ubuntu:/big/libevent/libevent-2.1.12-stable/_install/learn$ ls
build.sh CMakeLists.txt main_01.c
lkmao@ubuntu:/big/libevent/libevent-2.1.12-stable/_install/learn$下面分别介绍三个文件内容
main_01.c
创建源文件：main_01.c,输入如下代码，如果写过select函数，很快就能了解，此代码的功能是设置一个定时器，然后每隔1秒就打印一次“timer wakeup!counter = %d”。
printf("timer wakeup!counter = %d\n",counter++);
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <event2/event-config.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <event.h>
struct event ev;
struct timeval tv;
void time_cb(int fd, short event, void *argc)
{
static int counter = 0;
printf("timer wakeup!counter = %d\n",counter++);
event_add(&ev, &tv);
}
int main()
{
struct event_base *base = event_init();
tv.tv_sec = 1;
tv.tv_usec = 0;
evtimer_set(&ev, time_cb, NULL);
event_base_set(base, &ev);
event_add(&ev, &tv);
event_base_dispatch(base);
}build.sh
#!/bin/bash
set -e
rm -rf _build_
mkdir _build_ -p
cmake -S ./ -B _build_
make -C _build_
./_build_/main_01要保证build.sh文件是可执行的
chmod 777 build.sh CMakeLists.txt
project(libevent_project)
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.8)
message(STATUS "lkmao:CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR -- ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}")
set(LIBEVET_INSTALL_PATH "/big/libevent/libevent-2.1.12-stable/_install/")
include_directories(
${LIBEVET_INSTALL_PATH}/include
)
# set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER /arm-gcc/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc)
# set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER /arm-gcc/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++)
# SET(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} -std=c99 -pthread")
SET(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} -pthread")
SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -std=c++11 -pthread -lstdc++")
message(STATUS "lkmao:PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR -- ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}")
add_executable(main_01 main_01.c)
target_link_libraries(main_01 ${LIBEVET_INSTALL_PATH}/lib/libevent.so)测试验证
文件都准备好，并输入内容后执行build.sh文件，执行结果如下所示：
lkmao@ubuntu:/big/libevent/libevent-2.1.12-stable/_install/learn$ ./build.sh

timer wakeup!counter = 0
timer wakeup!counter = 1
timer wakeup!counter = 2
timer wakeup!counter = 3
timer wakeup!counter = 4
timer wakeup!counter = 5
timer wakeup!counter = 6由下面的截图可知，我们的测试代码开始运行了。
四 命令行编译
gcc main_01.c -o testEvent -I /big/libevent/libevent-2.1.12-stable/_install/include/ -L /big/libevent/libevent-2.1.12-stable/_install/lib/ -levent使用命令行，需要设置环境变量，要不然，找不到库。
小结
