The libphorward is a generic C/C++ library and toolbox, serving platform-independent utilities for different purposes.
A recently updated, full documentation can be found here, and is also locally available after installation.
Building phorward is simple as every GNU-style open source program. Extract the downloaded release tarball or clone the source repository into a directory of your choice.
Then, run
./configure
make
make install
And you're ready to go!
Alternatively, there is also a simpler method for setting up a local build system for development and testing purposes.
To do so, type
make -f Makefile.gnu make_install
make
This locally compiles the library or parts of it, and is ideal for development purposes.
The entire library including its tools can be made available in one target directory by using the script ./standalone.sh
.
This makes stand-alone integration of the entire library into other projects possible without a previous installation or porting, and easier maintainable packages.
The generated stand-alone package contains a Makefile
and can directly be built.
