Features:
Works on Linux and Windows
Uses threads
Does not depend on any other non-standard library
Distributed as source code only, requires you to compile and link
one file into your program
Installaion:
Libexecstream is provided in source code form only.
In order to use it, you need to compile and link one file, exec-stream.cpp,
into your program.
Header file exec-stream.h defines interface of the library and uses
only standard C++. It does not include any platform-specific header files.
On Linux, libexecstream was tested on Red Hat 9 with gcc compiler.
Versions of gcc prior to 3.0 will not work. Make sure that exec-stream.h
is found somewhere on the include path, compile exec-stream.cpp as usual,
link your program with -lpthread. GCC must be configured with --enable-threads,
which is by default on most Linux distributions.
On Windows, libexecstream was tested on XP and 95 flavors with VC++ 7 compiler.
VC++ 6 will not work. Make sure that exec-stream.h is found somewhere
on the include path, compile exec-stream.cpp as usual, link you program
with multi-threaded runtime.
Example makefiles for Windows and Linux (used to build the testsute)
are provided in the test subdirectory.
