Compiling/Installing LSMCD
LiteSpeed Memcached (“LSMCD”) is LiteSpeed's persistent memcache compatible cache daemon. It’s performance and interface are similar to the popular Memcached, with the addition of high availability replication. In LSMCD, cache data is persistent on both single and multiple box setups -- preserving all cache data through updates and instances of server failure.

There are certain package requirements to compile and install LSMCD. LSMCD relies on these packages to work properly. The required packages differ slightly between distributions.

yum groupinstall “Development Tools” yum install autoconf automake zlib-devel openssl-devel expat-devel pcre-devel

apt-get install build-essential zlib1g-dev libexpat1-dev openssl
Download
There are multiple ways to download LSMCD. Here a few options:
- Git:
git clone https://github.com/litespeedtech/lsmcd.git

Compile
To compile LSMCD, run the following commands from an elevated shell terminal:
cd lsmcd ./configure CFLAGS=" -O3" CXXFLAGS=" -O3" make
LSMCD should now be built. If there were any errors please double check that all package requirements were installed. If package requirements were not the issue, please post on our forums for further assistance.
