/*! \mainpage Typelib: a C++ type and value introspection library (Ruby bindings documentation is here)
These pages document only the C++ part of the library. The Ruby bindings documentation is available here
Typelib is a C++ library which allows for introspection on data types and data values. Its value model is based on the C type model. The library allows to load definition from various type description files (including plain C), build types programmatically, create and manipulate values from these types.
The following import/export plugins are available:

\section Installation
\subsection source Getting the source code Releases are available on SourceForge: <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/typelib/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/typelib/. You can access this project page from anywhere in the documentation by clicking on the SourceForge.net logo at the bottom of documentation pages.
The development repository is managed by git and is (for now) publicly available in GitHub:
git clone git://github.com/doudou/typelib.git
(see this page for more information)
\subsection cpp Building and installing the C++ library The C++ library depends on the following:
When all these dependencies are installed, run
mkdir build cd build cmake .. make make doc # to build the documentation, only if doxygen is available
and as root,
make install
Alternatively, you can add the \c -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=path/to/the/installation/target option to cmake to install the files in a custom directory
\subsection ruby Building and installing Ruby bindings The installation of the Ruby bindings require the following:
At runtime, the bindings require the following:
utilrb, which is best downloaded as a gem. See http://www.rubygems.org for information about the RubyGems system. This system can be installed by the rubygems package on Debian.
When you have installed rubygems, run gem install utilrb
You may have to run it as root if RubyGems is installed globally (this is the case for Debian's rubygems package)
You can also find the sources at git clone git://github.com/doudou/util-rb.git read the INSTALL.txt file */
