feed-merger

GitHub CI Clang status GitHub CI GCC status

feed-merger will be an application to merge several feeds (Atom 1.0 or RSS 2.0) into one single feed.

Building from source

Prerequisites

To build the feed-merger application from source you need a C++ compiler with C++17 support, CMake 3.8 or later, the cURL library and the libxml2 library. It also helps to have Git, a distributed version control system, on your build system to get the latest source code directly from the Git repository. Additionally, the project uses Catch (C++ Automated Test Cases in Headers) to perform some tests.

All of that can usually be installed be typing

apt-get install catch cmake g++ git libcurl4-gnutls-dev libxml2-dev

or

yum install catch-devel cmake gcc-c++ git libcurl-devel libxml2-devel

into a root terminal.

Getting the source code

Get the source directly from Git by cloning the Git repository and change to the directory after the repository is completely cloned:

git clone https://github.com/Thoronador/feed-merger.git ./feed-merger
cd feed-merger

That's it, you should now have the current source code of feed-merger on your machine.

Build process

The build process is relatively easy, because CMake does all the preparations. Starting in the root directory of the source, you can do the following steps:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make -j2

Test suite

The build commands as described above also create files for a small test suite for feed-merger. The test suite uses CTest, which usually comes with CMake. To run the test suite, make sure you are still in the build directory that was created during the build process and then type:

ctest -V

If all tests succeeded, the output of the above command should end with something like:

100% tests passed, 0 tests failed out of 20

Total Test time (real) =   0.64 sec

That's an indication that the basic functionality of feed-merger still works as it was intended by the developer.
