B-tree library for eventual proposal to Boost THIS IS AN BETA LIBRARY STILL UNDER DEVELOPMENT. IT IS SHOULD ONLY BE USED BY THOSE WILLING TO TAKE THE RISKS INHERENT WITH BETA LEVEL SOFTWARE. To experiment with the library, various other boost libraries must be available. Below is one way to create such a setup. Note: If you don't want use SSL to connect to GitHub, replace "git@github.com:" with "https://github.com/". Note: Install Subversion, Git, and a C++ compiler first if you haven't already done so. Be sure there is a "user-config.jam" file in your home directory and it is set up for your compiler (or compilers). Windows: cd where-you-want-stuff-to-go svn export http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk boost-trunk trunk-ex cd trunk-ex\libs git clone git@github.com:Beman/endian.git endian git clone git@github.com:Beman/btree.git btree cd ..\boost mklink /d endian ..\libs\btree\include\boost\endian mklink /d btree ..\libs\btree\include\boost\btree POSIX-like systems: sudo apt-get install libbz2-dev cd where-you-want-stuff-to-go svn export http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk boost-trunk trunk-ex cd trunk-ex/libs git clone git@github.com:Beman/endian.git endian git clone git@github.com:Beman/btree.git btree cd ../boost ln -s ../libs/endian/include/boost/endian endian ln -s ../libs/btree/include/boost/btree btree As a confidence test, the following should build b2, build various libraries and then run the btree regression tests, which should all report "**passed**". Windows: cd trunk-ex .\bootstrap .\b2 cd libs\btree\test ..\..\..\b2 POSIX-like systems: cd trunk-ex ./bootstrap.sh ./b2 cd libs/btree/test ../../../b2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes for using Visual Studio A Windows Visual Studio solution is included: btree\test\msvc2012\btree.sln Be sure to do the following setup before starting Visual Studio. IMPORTANT: If Preprocessor macros are supplied via a common property page, <inherit from parent or project defaults> must be set for each project! Setup Windows to use the solution: set BOOST_TRUNK=boost-root-path path %path%;%BOOST_TRUNK%\stage\lib cd %BOOST_TRUNK% .\bootstrap .\b2 --with-system --with-chrono --with-timer --with-filesystem --with-iostreams link=shared address-model=64 variant=debug toolset=msvc-11.0express To find out more about builds: cd boost-root .\b2 --help ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Copyright Beman Dawes, 2013 Distributed under the Boost Software License, Version 1.0.
