README.build

Tested on Fedora19 and RHEL6

Requirements:
  To build this, you will need at least the following:
    gcc-c++        (c++ compiler)
    openssl        (for hash functions)
    openssl-devel  (development package for headers)
    cppunit        (for unit testing)
    cppunit-devel  (development package for headers)
    readline       (for command-line emulation)
    readline-devel (development package for headers)
    valgrind       (for memory leak/error checking)

  To build the documentation, you will also need:
    python-sphinx  (sphinx documentation generator)
    doxygen

  To build RPMs you will need:
    rpm-build

  To build the perl wrapper, you will need at least the following:
    Perl 5.14 or newer
    ExtUtils::MakeMaker

Compilation:
  Make sure the above requirements are installed on your machine.
  Type 'make' or 'make all' in the root of the distribution to build.
  You can do 'make test' (slow) or 'make test-fast' to test your build.
  Then use 'make install' to install the libraries, executables, etc.

NOTE:
  You may need to edit the "Configuration section" of Makefile.base
  for specific locations and options on your platform.
  
For building on RHEL7 the following will help:
  sudo yum install git gcc\* openssl-devel readline-devel cppunit-devel

  If you have yum groups configured correctly:
  sudo yum group install "Development Tools" 
  sudo yum install git openssl-devel readline-devel cppunit-devel rpm-build
