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

<https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/pkg-config/> (or a compatible

replacement)

- libSystem from the DeforaOS Project, as found at

<https://www.defora.org/os/project/27/libSystem>

- libMarshall from the DeforaOS Project, as found at

<https://www.defora.org/os/project/4400/libMarshall>

- configure from the DeforaOS Project, likewise found at

<https://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
