Functionality

This framework provides C++11 based enhancing libraries for console and network based projects

Components:

• Program User Authentication
• Network Programming
  • Sockets (UDP/TCP/UNIX/TLS)
  • Protocols (HTTP/MIME/URL/LINE2LINE)
  • Chained Network Programming (Eg. TLS over TLS, TLS over AES-XOR)
  • Internal Fast RPC Protocol (Web, TCP/TLS)
• Database Abstraction Layer
  • PostgreSQL
  • MariaDB/MySQL
  • SQLite3
• Containers
  • Ultra-Fast allocation memory containers (eg. chunked)
  • File Mappers
• Threading
  • R/W Mutex
  • Thread-Safe Objects (Map/Queue)
  • Thread Pools
• Scripting
  • JSON Expressions evaluation
• File Formats
  • Vars File

Installing packages (HOWTO)

• COPR (Fedora/CentOS/etc):
  

Simple installation guide for Fedora/RHEL to develop software:

To activate our repo's and download/install the software:

In RHEL7:

# Install EPEL Repo + COPR
yum -y install epel-release
yum -y install yum-plugin-copr

# Install unmanarc's copr
yum copr enable amizrachi/unmanarc -y
# Install the required software:
yum -y install libMantids-devel jsoncpp-devel boost-devel boost-static openssl-devel sqlite-devel mariadb-devel postgresql-devel gcc-c++ cmake3

In RHEL8:

# Install EPEL Repo
dnf -y install 'dnf-command(config-manager)'
dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools
dnf -y install epel-release

# Install unmanarc's copr
dnf copr enable amizrachi/unmanarc -y
# Install the required software:
dnf -y install libMantids-devel jsoncpp-devel boost-devel boost-static openssl-devel sqlite-devel mariadb-devel postgresql-devel gcc-c++ cmake

Compatibility

This library was tested so far in:

• OpenSUSE Tumbleweed
• Fedora Linux 35
• Ubuntu 18.04/20.04/22.04
• CentOS/RHEL 7/8/9
• CentOS/RHEL 5/6, but may require special/external C++11 compilers, we don't recommend it

Overall Pre-requisites:

• C++11 Compatible Compiler (like GCC >=5)
• pthread
• openssl (1.1.x)
• jsoncpp
• boost

Extras Pre-requisites:

• SQLite3 devel libs
• MariaDB devel libs
• PostgreSQL devel libs

Win32 Pre-requisites:

• Using MSYS MinGW 64bit (recommended)
• Fedora MinGW (x86_64 or i686) compiler and required libs (deprecated)
