| NDN-CPP: A Named Data Networking client library for C++ and C |
| ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| Prerequisites |
| ------------- |
| |
| Required: libcrypto |
| Optional: libsqlite3 (for key storage) |
| Optional: OSX Security framework (for key storage) |
| |
| Following are the detailed steps for each platform to install the prerequisites. |
| |
| * Ubuntu 12.04 |
| sudo apt-get install build-essential |
| sudo apt-get install libssl-dev |
| |
| * Windows Cygwin |
| Cygwin is tested on Windows 7 64-bit with the "Devel" packages selected to install at the top level of the |
| cygwin installer. This includes libcrypto and libsqlite3. |
| |
| |
| Build |
| ----- |
| |
| To build in a terminal, change directory to the ndn-cpp root. Enter: |
| |
| ./configure |
| make |
| make install |
| |
| To make documentation, enter: |
| make doxygen-doc |
| |
| Files |
| ----- |
| |
| This makes the following libraries: |
| |
| .libs/libndn-c.a: The core C code for encoding and communication. |
| .libs/libndn-cpp.a: The C++ library API. (If linking to libndn-cpp, don't link to libndn-c since it is included.) |
| |
| This makes the following test files: |
| |
| bin/test-get-async: Connect to one of the NDN testbed hubs, express an interest and display the received data. |
| bin/test-encode-decode-interest: Encode and decode an interest, testing interest selectors and the name URI. |
| bin/test-encode-decode-data: Encode and decode a data packet, including signing the data packet. |
| bin/test-encode-decode-forwarding-entry: Encode and decode a data packet, including signing the data packet. |
| |
| Running make doxygen-doc puts code documentation in: |
| doc/html |
| |
