To build the xbase library

1) Verify you have the correct software prerequisites installed 
        A) cmake 2.6 or LATER
        B) Compiler and linker

2) Verify you have access to the target location of the library

3) Unpack the tar or zip file

4) For Linux 64 bit or 32 bit plat forms

  cd xbase/build/Linux64 or  xbase/build/Linux32
  cmake .
  make
  make test
  sudo make install

  Verify the ld.so.conf file has the library target directory
    For example
     update file /etc/ld.so.conf to include /usr/local/lib
     and run ldconfig
     Your mileage may vary depending on Linux Distro


  To update the configuration file
  cd xbase/build/Linux64 or  xbase/build/Linux32
  ccmake .



5) For Mac

  Verify you have xcode installed and operational
  cd xbase/build/Mac
  cmake . -DCMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk
  make
  make test


6) For Windows 64 bit with Visual Studio

  Open a Visual Studio 64 bit Shell
  cd xbase\build\Win64VS
  buildwin.bat
  nmake test

  From a VS Studio 64 bit shell in admin mode
  nmake install

  Also of note:  cleanwin.bat  resets everything

7) For Windows 32 bit with Visual Studio

  Open a Visual Studio 32 bit Shell
  cd xbase\build\Win32VS
  buildwin.bat
  nmake test

  From a VS Studio 32 bit shell in admin mode
  nmake install



8) For Windows 32 bit with Borland 5.5 free compiler

  cd xbase\build\Win32Borland
  BuildBorland.bat
  make test


9) For other platforms

  Here is something to start with...

  cd xbase
  md MyPlatform
  cd MyPlatform
  cp ../Cmake/CmakeLists.txt .

  Enter the appropriate make command for your environment - check the cmake web site for help
  On Linux, it is .cmake, then make
  your mileage may vary

  Send your results to the library maintainer so it can be added to this library
