This small project started out a couple of years ago as a collection of classes and methods of things that the author perceived as more elegantly implemented in java than in c++. One such thing is to encapsulate platform dependent code. Another thing is to provide methods for things that can be done with a simple one liner in java, but takes a lot of typing to get the job done in c++, such as get the current time in milliseconds for instance. The biggest block of code in the libarary right now is the SAXParser which is based on expat.
This library aims to provide an API which is reasonably similar to the OpenJDK reference implemenatation of java version 1.8.
all the details are described in the INSTALL file, but as of now the INSTALL file does not tell the whole truth: there is no configure file in this repo. Fortunately, you may generate it easily yourself like this:
-
make sure aclocal, autoheader, libtoolize, autoconf, automake and other dependencies are installed before you proceed. On a debian based system it is as simple as just
sudo apt-get install automake libtool autoconf-archive libexpat1-dev make pkg-config libcurlpp-dev -
mkdir m4 && aclocal && autoheader && libtoolize && autoconf && automake --add-missing
and then continue with the usual
./configure && make && sudo make install.

See the SimpleTester class in the tests directory to get a grip of how this library can be used. Some time in the future there will be better examples provided.
