Concordia Installation & Build Manual
=================================

This page describes how to compile, build
and install Concordia library.

========= Requirements ===============
Before you compile, make sure you have these installed:
- g++ compiler 
- cmake
- Boost library
- Log4cpp
- (optional) Doxygen
- (optional) TeX

========= Ubuntu package list ========

On Ubuntu 14.04, the above software comes in standard packages. Here is the complete list of these packages:
- g++
- cmake
- libboost-dev
- libboost-serialization-dev
- libboost-test-dev
- libboost-filesystem-dev
- libboost-system-dev
- libboost-program-options-dev
- libboost-iostreams-dev
- libboost-regex-dev
- libboost-locale-dev
- liblog4cpp5-dev
- libconfig++-dev
- libconfig-dev
- libpcre3-dev
- doxygen
- texlive-font-utils

========= Ubuntu requirements install command =======

If you want to install all the above packages at once, simply use the below command (this will also install the optional packages):

sudo apt-get install g++ cmake libboost-dev libboost-serialization-dev libboost-test-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-iostreams-dev libboost-regex-dev libboost-locale-dev liblog4cpp5-dev libconfig++-dev libconfig-dev libpcre3-dev doxygen texlive-font-utils

=========  Build & installation procedure ===========

To build and install Concordia, navigate to its home directory and issue the following commands:

mkdir build
cd build
../cmake.sh
make
make test
sudo make install

After that it is strongly recommended to run ldconfig to update linker info with newly installed shared libraries:

sudo ldconfig -v

========= Documentation ===========================

If Doxygen is available, a successful compilation generates documentation data in three
formats in the build/doc directory.

The man files in doc/man will be installed during installation. Open doc/html/index.html for
a HTML version of the same documentation. The latex directory contains uncompiled latex
files. To generate a single pdf file run

cd doc/latex
make

This should generate a single file called refman.pdf in the same directory.

========= Sample program ============================

In order to verify whether Concordia has been installed successfully, run the following minimal example. Prepare the file test.cpp with the following contents (remember to substitute <CONCORDIA_HOME> with the path of the unpacked Concordia package).

========= test.cpp ===================

#include <concordia/concordia.hpp>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {

    Concordia concordia("<CONCORDIA_HOME>/tests/resources/concordia-config/concordia.cfg");
    cout << concordia.getVersion() << endl;
    
}

======================================
