o Introduction
-YAZ is a development toolkit that implements the ANSI Z39.50 protocol.
-YAZ homepage is: http://www.indexdata.dk/yaz
+YAZ++ is a C++ layer for YAZ and implements the ANSI Z39.50
+protocol for information retrieval (client - and server side).
+YAZ homepage is: http://www.indexdata.dk/yaz/
-YAZ++ is a C++ wrapper on top of that YAZ. It provides a relatively
-simple, high level, interface to YAZ.
+YAZ++ uses the same license as YAZ - see LICENSE file for details.
o Overview
-- src (C++ source)
-- include (C++ headers)
-- doc (documentation)
- -- unix (UNIX configure script and Makefile)
-- win (Windows build files)
o Installation, Unix
Make sure you have a C - and C++ compiler available. gcc and
g++ works fine.
-Before compilation can take place YAZ must be installed. Unpack
-yaz-<version>.tar.gz in the same directory as yaz++. First
-build YAZ:
+Before compilation can take place YAZ must be installed. It goes, roughly,
+like this:
$ cd yaz-<version>
$ ./configure
$ make
+ $ cd ..
Then, build YAZ++:
$ cd yaz++-<version>
- $ cd unix
$ ./configure
$ make
o Installation, Windows
-Software is 32-bit based and should run on Windows 95/98 and
-Windows NT 4.0 The software was build using Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 and
-6.0. Other compilers should work but the makefile/project files will have
-created for those compiler environments.
- > cd win
- > nmake (Visual C++ makefile not yet created)
+Software is WIN32 and should run on Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0.
+Yaz++ was build using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0. Other compilers should
+work but makefile/project files will have to be created for those
+compiler environments.
+ Workspace yazxx.dsw includes the projects
+ yazxx.dsp - builds yazxx.dll
+ yazclient.dsp - builds yazclient.exe
+ yazserver.dsp - builds yazserver.exe
+ yazproxy.dsp - builds yazproxy.exe
