Folly: Facebook Open-source LibrarY

Folly is an open-source C++ library developed and used at Facebook.

Dependencies

• double-conversion (http://code.google.com/p/double-conversion/)

  By default, the build tooling for double-conversion does not build any libraries, which folly requires. To build the necessary libraries copy folly/SConstruct.double-conversion to your double-conversion source directory before building:

  [double-conversion/] scons -f SConstruct.double-conversion
  

  Then set CPPFLAGS/LDFLAGS so that folly can find your double-conversion build:

  [folly/] LDFLAGS=-L<double-conversion>/ CPPFLAGS=-I<double-conversion>/src/
    configure ...
  

• googletest (Google C++ Testing Framework)

  Grab gtest 1.6.0 from: http://googletest.googlecode.com/files/gtest-1.6.0.zip
