1. About DCL

The dbPager Classes Library (DCL) is a C++ framework for cross-platform
application development. DCL provides single-source portability across
Microsoft Windows, Linux and all major Unix variants.

DCL provides application developers with all the functionality needed to
build applications with system native graphical user interface, web
applications, server applications, database-aware applications as well
as simple console utilities.

DCL is fully object-oriented and easily extensible. It is uses some of
modern C++ features like templates, exceptions and STL.

The library is intended for the development of Free and Open Source software.
It is provided free of charge under the terms GNU General Public License
version 3.


2. Documentation

The documentation is built from the library header files. To do this, you
should have the following developer tools installed:

- doxygen
- dot (optional)

To build the documentation, execute the following command after configuring
the library with 'configure' script:

make doxygen-doc

Configure script contains some options.

After building, the documentation can be found in the 'doc' directory.


3. Downloading and building DCL

To build DCL from repository you should have the following developer tools
installed:

- svn
- autopoint (version 0.17 or newer)
- libtoolize (version 2.2 or newer)
- aclocal (version 1.10 or newer)
- automake (version 1.10 or newer)
- autoconf (version 2.61 or newer)
- autoheader (version 2.61 or newer)
- xgettext (version 0.17 or newer)
- xsltproc

To download latest DCL sources, execute the following command:

git clone https://github.com/wolfsoft/libdcl.git

The DCL sources will downloaded into the libdcl directory. Next, you should
run the autogen.sh script in the libdcl directory - it creates all necessary
infrastructure for building the DCL with developer tools mentioned above.

After building the infrastructure complete, you should configure the DCL
sources by running 'configure' script. The configure script has various
options, run it with --help parameter for details.

Finally, build the configured sources with 'make' command.

More information about building the sources can be found in the INSTALL file.
