About

CoreComponents provides a common system abstraction layer on top of POSIX for C++ developers.

Features

high-level / safe-to-use data containers
powerful string processing and pattern matching
safe memory management idioms
designed for multi-threading from ground up
fast compile times
transparent API: full access to low-level system primitives
batteries included:
- easy to use build system (ccbuild)
- built-in web server and client (ccget, ccnode)
- many more useful tools

Installation from Source

Prerequisites:

gcc or compatible compiler (e.g.: gcc, clang/llvm)
POSIX compatible shell (e.g.: ksh, bash)
pkg-config and gnureadline (optional)

Install required development packages:

sudo apt-get install g++ pkg-config git curl

Download the latest stable version:

mkdir -p ~/src
cd ~/src
curl -L https://www.corecomponents.io/download/CoreComponents-2.4.0.tar.gz | tar xzv
ln -s ../CoreComponents-2.4.0 CoreComponents

Thereafter bootstrap the build system:

mkdir -p ~/build/CoreComponents_release
cd ~/build/CoreComponents_release
~/src/CoreComponents/bootstrap

Finally, build the entire toolkit:

./ccbuild -release -test ~/src/CoreComponents

Optionally add the build directory to your environment:

export PATH=$PWD:$PATH

echo "export PATH=$PWD:\$PATH" >> ~/.profile
