Welcome to Atlas-C++, the C++ reference implementation of the Atlas protocol. The Atlas protocol is the primary protocol by which servers and clients in the WorldForge system communicate.
If you intend to build this as a prerequisite for the Ember client or the Cyphesis server we strongly suggest that you use the Hammer tool to compile Ember. This is script provided by the Worldforge project which will download and install all of the required libraries and components used by Worldforge.
Otherwise the library can most easily be built through the following commands.
mkdir build_`arch` && cd build_`arch`
cmake ..
make
make install
The test suite can be built and run using the check target. For example:
make check
If Doxygen is available API documentation can be generated using the docs target. For example:
make docs
This is Atlas-C++ 0.7.x, the latest development version of Atlas-C++. The 0.6.x branch will contain NO API CHANGES. The 0.7.x branch is completely experimental and may not be easy to track. Any changes affecting the API should go into 0.7.x, as should any features which are not completely stable.
To generate the documentation, simply configure the tree then execute the "docs" target (for example make docs).
This will use doxygen to generate the documentation, which will then reside in doc/.
