Compiling

Source code is available as compressed tarballs. First download the sources and extract them.

Unix/Linux

On linux the library is compiled using the qmake buildsystem from Trolltech. On most platforms supported by Trolltech (many) qmake might already be installed or can by installed with one of the Qt-dev packages.

To compile simply enter the 'tikapp' directory that you extracted from the tarball. Now type 'qmake' and then 'make'. After a little while you can find the compiled library in the 'bin' directory.

The testdrivers for the library are compiled too and the binary can also be found in the 'bin' directory. Make sure you put the compiled library somewhere it can be found by your OS. Otherwise you will get something like this:

error while loading shared libraries: libtikapp.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Win32

The easiest way to compile LIBTIKAPP on a windows machine is to download Dev-Cpp (a GPL IDE with the MinGW compiler included (7.5 MB)) from here

Now you can use the provided project file (*.dev) in the 'win32' directory. Load the project to Dev-Cpp and simply compile. It can be that easy.

API-Reference

Doxygen is used to create an easy-readable source code documentation. You can find the latest version here (in new window).

User-Manual

Currently we are still working on a TIKAPP manual.
