CoreComponents provides a common system abstraction layer on top of POSIX for C++ developers.
- high-level / safe-to-use data containers
- powerful string processing and pattern matching
- safe memory management idioms
- designed for multi-threading from ground up
- fast compile times
- transparent API: full access to low-level system primitives
- batteries included:
- easy to use build system (ccbuild)
- built-in web server and client (ccget, ccnode)
- many more useful tools
Prerequisites:
- gcc or compatible compiler (e.g.: gcc, clang/llvm)
- POSIX compatible shell (e.g.: ksh, bash)
- pkg-config and gnureadline (optional)
Install required development packages:
sudo apt-get install g++ pkg-config git curl
Download the latest stable version:
mkdir -p ~/src
cd ~/src
curl -L https://www.corecomponents.io/download/CoreComponents-3.0.0.tar.gz | tar xzv
ln -s ../CoreComponents-3.0.0 CoreComponents
Thereafter bootstrap the build system:
mkdir -p ~/build/CoreComponents_release
cd ~/build/CoreComponents_release
~/src/CoreComponents/bootstrap
Finally, build the entire toolkit:
./ccbuild -release -test ~/src/CoreComponents
Optionally add the build directory to your environment:
export PATH=$PWD:$PATH
echo "export PATH=$PWD:\$PATH" >> ~/.profile
