Welcome to the Cashlib wiki!

##Installation##

Cashlib does not require any installation but has some dependencies. If those are not installed properly, the "make" command will give errors. Therefore, you should first install the following:

i) Open SSL development library

ii) Boost development libraries

iii) GNU Multi-Precision Arithmetic Library (GMP)

iv) ANTLR development library

v) Git

###UBUNTU INSTALL###

Install the following packages using Synaptic Package Manager with any extra dependencies accepted during installation. No configuration will be necessary.

• libssl-dev
• libboost-dev
• libboost-thread-dev
• libboost-iostreams-dev
• libboost-program-options-dev
• libgmp-dev
• libantlr-dev
• git

The exact library package names might contain version numbers, and hence may differ slightly from what is provided above. Alternatively, you may install libboost-all instead of parts.

###PARDUS INSTALL###

Default Pardus 2011 install does not come with even basic packages needed. Therefore, use the Pisi Package Manager to install the following packages:

• git
• make
• gcc
• pkgconfig
• glibc-devel
• kernel-headers
• openssl-devel
• boost-devel
• antlr
• gmp-devel

If you cannot find any of these packages, add this repository in the settings: http://pakete.pardususer.de/pardus-2011/x86_64/pisi-index.xml.xz

###MAC OS X LION INSTALL###

1. Install Xcode using the Mac App Store

2. Install MacPorts from http://www.macports.org/

3. Open up a Terminal and run the following commands:

   sudo port install pkgconfig

   sudo port install openssl

   sudo port install boost

   sudo port install gmp

   sudo port install antlr

##RUNNING##

Once all these dependencies are installed, you need to download Cashlib from github using the following command:

git clone git://github.com/brownie/cashlib.git

Then, change the directory to cashlib/src and run

make

Hopefully, you will get no errors. Now you can use the

./test

command to run some test scripts on cashlib, and obtain performance measurements.

##TROUBLESHOOTING##

• I receive a compiler error regarding boost libraries

Newer boost libraries do not use the "-mt" suffix for multithreading support. Edit the makefile, and remove all "-mt" suffixes.
