- Xbase64 Version 3.1.0
-
-
-
-WHAT IS IT?
------------
-
-Xbase64 is an xbase (i.e. dBase, FoxPro, etc.) compatible C++ class library
-originally by Gary Kunkel and others (see the AUTHORS file).
-
-Xbase64 is useful for accessing data in legacy dBase 3 and 4 database files as
-well as a general light-weight database engine. It includes support for
-DBF (dBase version 3 and 4) data files, NDX and NTX indexes, and DBT
-(dBase version 3 and 4). It supports file and record locking under *nix
-and Windows.
-
-
-DIRECTORY LAYOUT
-----------------
-
- /bin contains various utility programs
- /examples contains various test programs
- /html contains the original xBase documentation in html format
- /xbase64 Xbase64 source and header files
-
-
-BUILDING THE LIBRARY ON UNIX/LINUX
-----------------------------------
-
-XBase64 uses autoconf and libtool to manage the build process.
-
-To configure the library for your specific system, run the "configure"
-shell script as follows:
-
- ./configure
-
-The configure script accepts the following options in addition to the
-normal default options:
-
- --enable-debug creates debugging code [default=no]
- --enable-shared build shared libraries [default=yes]
- --enable-static build static libraries [default=no]
- --with-gnu-ld assume the C compiler uses GNU ld [default=no]
- --without-index-ndx turn off .ndx index support
- --without-index-ntx turn off .ntx index support
- --without-memo-fields turn off memo fields support
- --without-expressions turn off expressions support
- --without-xbase-locking turn off XBase file locking
- --without-realdelete turn off XBase record deletion
- --without-xbase-debug turn off XBase specific debug
- --without-largefile-support turn off XBase largefile support
-
-Once configured, execute make as follows to build the library:
-
- make
-
-Once compiled (and assuming no errors occurred), use make to install the
-library, header files, and utilities as follows:
-
- make install
-
-The default install directory is /usr/local.
-
-
-BUILDING THE LIBRARY ON WINDOWS
--------------------------------
-
-The MINGW32 and CYGWIN compiler support didn't make the first cut to
-Xbase64. They will be migrated forward in a future release of xbase64.
-Any volunteers?
-
-If using the MINGW32 GCC compiler package, use the makefile.g95 make files.
-Edit bin/makefile.g95 xbase/makefile.g95 to change installation directories.
-
-If using the CYGWIN environment, use the makefile.cyg make files (or fix
-the autoconf/automake stuff to work correclty). However, for some reason
-(as yet undetermined) it seems to run very slowly when compiled with the
-cygwin compiler (perhaps the file handing in the cygwin dll is just dog slow?).
-
-
-BUILDING THE LIRARY WITH BORLAND 5.5
-------------------------------------
-
-There are batch files MAKEBCC.BAT which build the xbase libs for
-Borland C++ 5.5.
-
-
-
-DOCUMENTATION
--------------
-
-The documentation at this point consists of the original xBase documentation
-(in the html directory). It is still very useful as little has changed
-from the original library except bugfixes and a few enhancements.
-
-We are working on incorporating comments into the source to allow
-generation of reference documentation using the Doxygen document generator.
-A small amount has been done already, but we hope to complete this effort
-before the next release.
