1 HEAD- Building and Installing;;
3 HEAD++ Supported Platforms;;
5 NoBug is developed on linux, using gcc. It should be possible to port
6 it to any other POSIX conforming operating system. Most platform
7 specific things are kept optional, but some things need to be
8 rewritten for the target platform. Currently Linux with a C99
9 conforming gcc is supported, for both, 32 and 64 bit architectures.
10 One gcc extentsion is used (token pasting of varadic macros) which
11 prevents portability to other compilers which don't support this. When
12 this is a problem, contact the NoBug author for implementing a workaround.

17 Platform Compiler State Notes
18 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
19 Linux x86_64 gcc 4.3.2 supported Reference Platform
20 Linux x86 gcc supported
21 MacOS X gcc works Valgrind problems
22 OpenSolaris gcc mostly waiting for a patch

26 NoBug has no mandatory dependencies on other software and libraries,
27 some things like valgrind support are optional and automatially
31 HEAD== Release Tarballs;;
33 Releases are available on:
34 http://www.pipapo.org/nobug-releases/
36 Gpg signed tarballs are being used for distribution. The first step involves
37 checking the signature:
39 $ gpg nobug-VERSION.tar.gz.gpg
41 This will produce a nobug-VERSION.tar.gz and report if the signature could be
44 Since they are built with gnu autotools, the usual build and install procedure
47 $ tar xzvf nobug-VERSION.tar.gz
53 $ make check # optional, run the testsuite
54 $ make install # depending on distribution and setup, do this as root
57 HEAD== Development Version via git;;
59 The development version is available via git from
60 `git://git.pipapo.org/nobug` or mirrored at repo.or.cz
61 `git://repo.or.cz/nobug.git`.
63 You clone the git repository by:
65 $ git clone git://git.pipapo.org/nobug
67 After you have cloned the repository, you'll then have to bootstrap the
71 $ autoreconf -i # creates the configure file
73 Then the usual `cd build && ../configure && make && make install` (as above) will work.
74 Careful users may run `make check` to run a testsuite before installing.
77 HEAD++ Keeping Git Up To Date;;
79 To update to any new revision you just go into the nobug dir and
83 After that you can build as above (cd build && ../configure && make && make install).
84 This default pull will update from the 'master' branch which is meant to be a ongoing
85 stable version (latest release + bugfixes).
87 HEAD-- What Is Installed;;
89 Currently, NoBug installs the following:
91 * A single nobug.h headerfile which your code will use
92 * Libraries that are used by statically linking:
93 - `libnobug.a` for singlethreaded programs.
94 - `libnobugmt.a` for multithreaded programs.
95 * Libraries for dynamic linking:
96 - `libnobug.so` for singlethreaded programs.
97 - `libnobugmt.so` for multithreaded programs.
98 - associated libtool descriptors (`libnobug*.la`)
99 * Pkgconfig control files:
100 - `nobug.pc` for singlethreaded programs.
101 - `nobugmt.pc` for multithreaded programs.
102 * The `nobug_rbdump` utility to inspect NoBug ringbuffers
