What is the FLAIM Tool Kit?
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
FLAIM is an acronym that stands for FLexible Adaptable Information
|
|
Management. The FLAIM Tool Kit is a system abstraction layer designed
|
|
to provide maximum performance AND portability to all of the flaim
|
|
projects. The FLAIM Tool Kit (FTK) can be linked either statically
|
|
or dynamically into the various flaim project libraries, or even into
|
|
your own applications and libraries, thereby providing you with the
|
|
same degree of portability between Unix, Linux, Windows and NetWare.
|
|
|
|
The FTK package provide source code for the FTK libraries in the "src"
|
|
directory, and a useful test application (ftktest) in the "util"
|
|
directory. The test utility is currently only built when you enter
|
|
"make check" on your build host.
|
|
|
|
Building the FLAIM Tool Kit
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
Building FTK on Unix and Linux systems is as simple as with any other
|
|
Autotools-based project. If you're building from an SVN working directory,
|
|
enter the following command first, immediately after a clean check-out:
|
|
|
|
$ autoreconf -i
|
|
|
|
This command will generate a configure script and Makefile.in templates.
|
|
If you find yourself modifying the FTK build system (eg., configure.ac
|
|
and Makefile.am files), then you may omit the "-i" option in later
|
|
executions of the autoreconf utility.
|
|
|
|
If you're building from a tarball, you may skip the "autoreconf" step above
|
|
and move right to the following steps:
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure
|
|
$ make all check
|
|
|
|
The FTK build system provides all the default functionality provided by
|
|
any Autotools build system, including VPATH build support. To build from
|
|
outside the source directory, enter the following commands (for example):
|
|
|
|
$ mkdir build
|
|
$ cd build
|
|
$ ../configure
|
|
$ make all check
|
|
|
|
The FLAIM Tool Kit is completely independent of any other projects,
|
|
depending only on a few widely distributed system-level resources, such as
|
|
a POSIX threads library. The FLAIM Tool Kit will also provide a level of
|
|
HTTP security if you use the --enable-openssl option on the configure
|
|
command line. However, this functionality is ancillary and optional.
|
|
|
|
Installing the FLAIM Tool Kit
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
To install FTK libraries and header files, you may type the following
|
|
command after building the FLAIM Tool Kit:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo make install
|
|
|
|
The default prefix for the FTK Autotools build system is "/usr/local".
|
|
If you wish to install in a different location, then use either one of the
|
|
following commands:
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure PREFIX=/usr
|
|
$ make all check
|
|
$ sudo make install
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure
|
|
$ make prefix=/usr
|
|
$ sudo make prefix=/usr install
|
|
|
|
If you have questions or feedback, please send mail to one of the two user-
|
|
writeable flaim mailing lists:

The flaim-announce list may be subscribed to for occasional notifications of
|
|
updates to the FLAIM projects.
