Comments on: Welcome to the POCO Community! http://pocoproject.org/blog/?p=145 News and discussion for the POCO Community Thu, 09 May 2013 12:05:16 +0200 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: guenter http://pocoproject.org/blog/?p=145&cpage=1#comment-9 guenter Mon, 17 Jul 2006 09:46:40 +0000 http://appinf.com/poco/blog/?p=3#comment-9 Andrew, we are still in the process of setting up the community. At this time, there is no content yet in the Wiki, but this will change in the coming days. A good place for discussion is also the poco-develop mailing list. Regarding the make issue, before invoking a Makefile you have to set the environment variable POCO_BASE to the directory where POCO is located (e.g. export POCO_BASE=/users/guenter/poco-1.1.2). You can then invoke gmake separately for each of the testsuites or samples. You might also want to take a look at the README file ;-) Andrew, we are still in the process of setting up the community.

I went into a test directory and tried to rebuild one of the tests and I got errors like: Makefile:9: /build/rules/global: No such file or directory. If there is a Makefile in a directory I expect to be able to go that directory, type 'make' and it will make whatever is in that directory. What is going on please? -Andrew Marlow One odd thing I have run into almost right away is that the Makefiles do not seem to work unless invoked by the top level Makefile from the top-level directory.

IMO it is not clear from the main web page, nor the annoucemenrt I saw in comp.lang.c++.moderated. I initially tried the WIKI but that did not work for me. It seems to be empty. Oh well, I will post here for now. I am impressed with POCO so far but I have only just started to look at it. Will post more as I find out more.... BTW, it is traditional to be able to preview a post before committing it. Perhaps this is an improvement that could be made to this blog facility?

For now, the best way to get changes into POCO is to discuss them on or send them to the poco-develop mailing list. (Yes, we will put up updated documentation referring only the Boost licensed libraries in the next few days). We generally welcome changes from the community.

(And are you going to remove the references to NetSSL in the pdf documentation? I can understand why there's a desire to protect some of the system to generate revenue, but these components are referenced as part of POCO but there's no indication that they are witheld, or what the price is for the support contract.)

However, regarding database support, we will soon start a project to bring a SQL database access library supporting multple database engines to POCO.

Now that a boost license is used, I will DEFINITELY be using this wonderful kit, and will advertise it to my friends and clients. Good luck, I hope POCO really takes off!

What is the reason and what do you want to use instead? Cheers, tranquil Did you move DBLite out of the bundle? What is the reason and what do you want to use instead?
