Instructions for AnyCollect 1.1.2

AnyCollect

AnyCollect has four dependencies:

Name	Website	Git	Download
Boost	Official	GitHub	Version 1.68.0, bz2
pstreams	Official	Git URL	Version 1.0.1, gz from SourceForge
tinyexpr	Official	GitHub	Latest commit, gz2
nlohmann json		GitHub	Version 3.3.0

Boost and nlohmann json are common dependencies with Snap (see below).

Snap plugin C++ library

This library is available on GitHub, and it is provided with AnyCollect as a git submodule in the third_party/ directory.

Snap library dependencies

The Snap plugin C++ library has various dependencies:

Name	Website	Git	Download
Boost	Official	GitHub	Version 1.68.0, bz2
gRPC	Official	GitHub	Version 1.15.1, gz
cpp-netlib	Official	GitHub	Version 0.13.0, bz2
spdlog		GitHub	Version 1.2.0, gz
nlohmann json		GitHub	Version 3.3.0

The nlohmann json header file may be zipped in in a bz2 archive: tar -cf - ./json.hpp | bzip2 > nlohmann-json-3.3.0.tar.bz2

All these libraries should be unzipped to AnyCollect's third_party/ directory.

gRPC dependencies

In addition to Snap dependencies, gRPC also has three mandatory dependencies (among other optional dependencies). They can be downloaded automatically with git (git submodule update --init) or with the links below:

Name	Website	Git	Download
Protobuf	Official	GitHub	Version 3.6.1, gz
BoringSSL	Official	GitHub	Commit b29b21a, gz
c-ares	Official	GitHub	Version 1.13.0, gz

Protobuf and BoringSSL should be unzipped to AnyCollect's third_party/grpc/third_party/ directory, and c-ares in third_party/grpc/third_party/cares/.

Building

When everything is downloaded and unzipped in the right directories, you can go to AnyCollect's root folder and execute ./buildall.sh. This will build all dependencies in a local directory, and after some time AnyCollect will be available in the output/ directory.
