AvlCal aims at providing a clean API and a simple implementation (C++ library) of an Airline-related Seat Inventory Availability Calculation system. That library uses the Standard Airline IT C++ object model (https://github.com/airsim/stdair).
AvlCal makes an extensive use of existing open-source libraries for increased functionality, speed and accuracy. In particular the Boost (C++ Standard Extensions: https://www.boost.org) library is used.
AvlCal is the one of the components of the Travel Market Simulator (https://travel-sim.org). However, it may be used in a stand-alone mode.
Just use DNF (or Yum on older distributions):
$ dnf -y install avlcal-devel avlcal-doc
You can also get the RPM packages (which may work on Linux distributions like Novel Suse and Mandriva) from the Fedora repository (e.g., for Fedora Rawhide, https://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/fedora/devel/rawhide/x86_64/)
The Sourceforge Git repository may be cloned as following:
$ git clone [email protected]:airsim/avlcal.git avlcalgit # through SSH
$ git clone https://github.com/airsim/avlcal.git # if the firewall filters SSH
$ cd avlcalgit
Then, you need the following packages (Fedora/RedHat/CentOS names here, but names may vary according to distributions):
- cmake
- gcc-c++
- stdair-devel, airrac-devel, rmol-devel, airinv-devel
- boost-devel
- zeromq-devel
- readline-devel, ncurses-devel
- soci-mysql-devel
- python-devel
- gettext-devel (optional)
- doxygen, ghostscript, graphviz and tetex-latex (optional)
- rpm-build (optional)
The latest stable source tarball (avlcal*.tar.gz
or .bz2
) can be found
on GitHub: https://github.com/airsim/avlcal/releases
To customise the following to your environment, you can alter the path to the installation directory:
export INSTALL_BASEDIR="${HOME}/dev/deliveries"
export AVLCAL_VER="1.00.6"
export LIBSUFFIX_4_CMAKE="-DLIB_SUFFIX=64"
Then, as usual:
- To configure the project, type something like:
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/avlcal-${AVLCAL_VER} \
-DWITH_STDAIR_PREFIX=${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/stdair-stable \
-DWITH_AIRRAC_PREFIX=${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/airrac-stable \
-DWITH_RMOL_PREFIX=${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/rmol-stable \
-DWITH_AIRINV_PREFIX=${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/airinv-stable \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Debug -DENABLE_TEST:BOOL=ON -DINSTALL_DOC:BOOL=ON \
-DRUN_GCOV:BOOL=OFF ${LIBSUFFIX_4_CMAKE} ..
- To build the project, type:
make
- To test the project, type:
make check
- To install the library (
libavlcal*.so*
) and the binary (avlcal
), just type:
make install
- To browse the (just installed, if enabled) HTML documentation:
open file://${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/avlcal-stable/share/doc/avlcal-${AVLCAL_VER}/html/index.html
- To browse the (just installed, if enabled) PDF documentation:
evince ${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/avlcal-stable/share/doc/avlcal-${AVLCAL_VER}/html/refman.pdf
- To package the source files, type:
make dist
- To package the binary and the (HTML and PDF) documentation:
make package
