DeforaOS libApp
About libApp
libApp is a message-passing framework. It is designed to become the core component for the DeforaOS Project, providing transparent and protocol-agnostic network computing capabilities. Regardless, libApp is intended to be portable and work on any system, using any POSIX-compliant runtime as fallback if available.
Dependencies for libApp
libApp depends on the following software components to build:
- pkg-config from the freedesktop software collection, as found in most software distributions already; otherwise at http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/pkg-config/
- libSystem from the DeforaOS Project, as found at http://www.defora.org/os/project/27/libSystem if not packaged for your system.
- libMarshall from the DeforaOS Project, as found at http://www.defora.org/os/project/4400/libMarshall if not packaged for your system.
- configure from the DeforaOS Project, likewise found at http://www.defora.org/os/project/16/configure
Configuring libApp
Before being able to build libApp, it is necessary to generate Makefiles with
configure(1). It should be enough to run this tool as follows:
$ configure
Please refer to the documentation of DeforaOS configure for further instructions.
Compiling libApp
It is then possible to build the project with make(1) as usual. The following
command should therefore be enough:
$ make
To install libApp in a dedicated directory, like /path/to/libApp:
$ make PREFIX="/path/to/libApp" install
