o Introduction
-YAZ is development toolkit that implements the ANSI Z39.50 protocol.
+YAZ is a development toolkit that implements the ANSI Z39.50 protocol.
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.
-o Documentatation
+o Overview
-Description of object model can be found in the sub directory doc, file
-index.html.
+YAZ++ builds a programmers' library libyaz++.lib and a few
+example applications:
+ yaz-client - small client
+ yaz-server - small server
+ yaz-proxy - simple proxy server
-The documentation was auto-generated from source using doc++.
+Description in HTML format of object model can be found in the sub
+directory doc. The top-page of the documentaion is index.html. The
+documentation was auto-generated from YAZ++ source using doc++.
-o Installation
+Directory structure of the YAZ++ package.
+
+ -- 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++.
+yaz-<version>.tar.gz in the same directory as yaz++. First
+build YAZ:
+
+ $ cd yaz-<version>
+ $ ./configure
+ $ make
-For Unix - make sure you have a C++ compiler available. g++ works fine.
+Then, build YAZ++:
+
+ $ cd yaz++-<version>
$ cd unix
$ ./configure
$ make
-For Windows. The software was build using Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 and
-6.0. Other compilers should work but the makefile will have to be
-modified.
- > cd win
- > nmake (Visual C++ makefile not yet created)
+o Installation, Windows
+
+Software is WIN32 and should run on Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0.
+Yaz++ was build using Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 and 6.0. Other compilers
+should work but makefile/project files will have created for those
+compiler environments.
+ Open workspace yazxx.dsw that includes four projects
+ yazxx.dsp - builds yazxx.dll
+ yazclient.dsp - builds yazclient.exe
+ yazserver.dsp - builds yazserver.exe
+ yazproxy.dsp - builds yazproxy.exe
