tinyhttpd是超轻量级的web服务器，代码量只有500余行，因此非常适合学习web服务器的工作原理。然而，代码是在solaris下编写，不过作者在httpd.c中作出linux下的编译的修改方法，如下：

This program compiles for Sparc Solaris 2.6.
  To compile for Linux:
  1) Comment out the #include <pthread.h> line.
  2) Comment out the line that defines the variable newthread.
  3) Comment out the two lines that run pthread_create().
  4) Uncomment the line that runs accept_request().
  5) Remove -lsocket from the Makefile.
  包括注释<ptherad.h>,newthred变量，以注释的accpet_request()替换pthread_create()，然后在makefile中去掉 -lsocket。然而，修改了代码之后就只是linux的tinyhttpd了，希望让其具有跨平台特点又该如何做呢？正好趁这个机会学习一下关于跨平台代码的编写。这是以下修改的代码tinyhttpd.c：

/* J. David's webserver */
/* This is a simple webserver.
 * Created November 1999 by J. David Blackstone.
 * CSE 4344 (Network concepts), Prof. Zeigler
 * University of Texas at Arlington
 */
