Introduction
|
|
------------
|
|
This package is a Free Pascal translation of the libvortex header files.
|
|
|
|
LibVortex is a BEEP (RFC3080/RFC3081) implementation in C. To learn more about LibVortex see www.aspl.es/vortex
|
|
|
|
BEEP is a network application framework protocol. To understand exactly what that means, see www.beepcore.org and RFC3080.
|
|
|
|
Installing
|
|
----------
|
|
LibVortex uses LibAxl. Both the libraries must be installed following the included installation instructions.
|
|
|
|
Vortex (the pascal unit) does not need to be installed. It must only be included in the application's uses statement.
|
|
|
|
Vortex uses Axl, which must also be in the uses statement.
|
|
|
|
Obtaining the libraries
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
LibVortex can be downloaded from www.aspl.es/vortex.
|
|
LibAxl can be downloaded from www.aspl.es/axl.
|
|
|
|
Main differences with C headers
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
The pascal units were kept as close as possible to the original source. The biggest changes are macros that are implemented as functions or skipped altogether.
|
|
|
|
Most of the C source are still in the files for future reference as well as all the doxygen documentation.
|
|
|
|
Work completed
|
|
--------------
|
|
This translation of the libvortex headers is for libvortex v1.1.1 svn r4012
|
|
|
|
The complete library was translated. A server (vortex-simple-listener) and a client application (vortex-simple-client) were translated to test the basic functionality.
|
|
|
|
To do
|
|
-----
|
|
1. There remain some untranslated #define's
|
|
2. Most of the test applications included with the library are not yet translated
|
|
|
|
Portability
|
|
-----------
|
|
Both libvortex and libaxl run on windows.
|
|
|
|
This tranlation has only been tested on linux. There remain some work in the Vortex unit for it to work under windows.
