This dual license ensures that the library can be incorporated into

both proprietary code and GPL'd programs, and will benefit from
|
|
improvements made by programmers in both realms. I will only accept
|
|
changes into my version of the library if they are similarly
|
|
dual-licensed.

Building the library
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
This distribution is developed on Red Hat Linux 6.0 and usually
|
|
compiles on SunOS 5.6 and FreeBSD 2.27. I have reports of success of
|
|
previous version on MacOS ( with CodeWarrior ) and on UnixWare, but I
|
|
don't know about any other systems.
|
|
|
|
The library is configured with automake. IF YOU ARE BUILDING THE
|
|
SOURCE FROM A TARBALL, From the root directory, run
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
|
|
To build all of the Makefiles for your system. If you will be
|
|
installing the library, you may want to use the --prefix flag to set
|
|
the directory where the library and header files will be installed.
|
|
|
|
./configure --prefix=/proj/local/
|
|
|
|
If configure runs fine, run "make" to build the library and
|
|
"make install" to install it.
|
|
|
|
Although the distribution uses libtool to generate libraries, it has
|
|
shared libraries turned off by default. To create and install shared
|
|
libraries use:
|
|
|
|
./configure --enable-shared
|
|
|
|
|
|
IF YOU ARE BUILDING FROM CVS, there will be no configure file until
|
|
you create one with autogen.sh. YOu can pass configure parameters to
|
|
autogen.sh on the command line.
|
|
|
|
The current version of libical focuses on creating and
|
|
manipulating iCal objects. With it, you can parse text representations
|
|
of iCal components, add and remove sub-components, properties,
|
|
parameters and values, and print the components back out as strings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notes for Libical Developers
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
If you don't want to use gcc as the compiler, and you got the sources
|
|
from CVS, you should set the CC variable to the path to the compiler
|
|
and run "automake --include-deps" to keep automake from using
|
|
gcc-specific automatic dependancy tracking.
|
|
|
|
> CC=/pkg/SUNWspro/bin/cc; export CC
|
|
> automake --include-deps
|
|
> ./configure --prefix=/proj/local/
|
|
> make
|
|
|
|
You will not need to re-run automake unless you got the sources from CVS.
|
|
|
|
Using the Library
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
There is rudimentary, unfinished documentation in the /doc directory,
|
|
and annotated examples in /examples and the test code in src/test.
