This repository contains the BDE libraries, currently BSL (Basic Standard Library), BDL (Basic Development Library), BAL (Basic Application Library), and BBL (Basic Business Library).
For more information about BDE libraries follow the links below.
BDE uses a build system based on cmake. The build system is located in the BDE tools repository (see Documentation Links).
The BDE CMake build system requires the following software to be preinstalled and configured on the system:
Note that python
is used by the build helpers bde_build_env.py
and cmake_build.py
, but is not strictly needed
to build BDE. See the more complete build instructions linked below for more detail.
Please see the more complete build instructions for open source users.
The following commands can be used to configure and build the BDE repository:
-
Clone the
bde-tools
andbde
repositories and addbde-tools
to yourPATH
:$ git clone https://github.com/bloomberg/bde-tools.git $ export PATH=$PWD/bde-tools/bin:$PATH # add bde-tools to the 'PATH' $ git clone https://github.com/bloomberg/bde.git $ cd bde
-
From the root of this source repository, run:
$ export BDE_CMAKE_BUILD_DIR=$PWD/_build # configure the build directory $ bbs_build configure -u opt_dbg_64_cpp17
-
To build the libraries, but not the test drivers, run:
$ bbs_build build
To also build the test drivers, run:
$ bbs_build build --test build
To build and run the test drivers, run:
$ bbs_build build --test run
