Introduction

GNU cgicc is an ANSI C++ compliant class library that greatly simplifies the creation of CGI applications for the World Wide Web. cgicc performs the following functions:

Requirements

GNU cgicc requires an ANSI-compliant C++ compiler supporting the C++ standard template library. cgicc is primarily developed on GNU/Linux using gcc version 3.3, but it has been built using the following compilers:

Project files for MSVC++ are included in the distribution.

Download

GNU cgicc is distributed as a compressed tar file. You can download the latest version from ftp.gnu.org, ftp.cgicc.org, www.cgicc.org, or from any GNU mirror site. For other ways to obtain cgicc, please read How to get GNU Software.

Once you have the cgicc-3.2.3.tar.bz2 file, please verify the contents using gpg. To do this you must first download the KEY and asc signature file. Verify the signatures using the following commands (assuming you trust the authenticity of the key):

% gpg --import KEY
% gpg --verify cgicc-3.2.3.tar.bz2.asc

cgicc-3.2.3.tar.bz2 is signed by Stephen F. Booth E6A622D3

If you are satisfied the file is genuine, unpack it using the following command:

% bzip2 -dc cgicc-3.2.3.tar.bz2 | tar x

This will create the directory cgicc-3.2.3/. Generic installation intructions are in the INSTALL file.

Library Documentation

GNU cgicc is documented using doxygen, to allow the documentation for the library to be in the same files as the library code itself. The doxygen-generated documentation is available in the cgicc-3.2.3/doc/html/ subdirectory of the distribution.

You can also browse the library documentation online.

CVS

The CVS repository used for cgicc is on savannah.gnu.org. You can extract the latest version of cgicc via read-only anonymous CVS over ssh. Here's how:

% export CVS_RSH="ssh"
% cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/cgicc co cgicc
Once you have it checked out, you can update it with
% cvs update

Finally, if you want to browse the source tree using viewcvs, go to http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/cgicc/.

Mailing Lists

cgicc has three mailing lists: help-cgicc@gnu.org, info-cgicc@gnu.org, and bug-cgicc@gnu.org.

All of these lists are managed by mailman, and can be subscribed to, unsubscribed to, and configured via a web interface by following the links above. Web archives are also available.

Reporting Bugs

If you think you have found a bug in cgicc, then you should send as complete a report as possible to bug-cgicc@gnu.org. Ideally, you should include the text you get by running config.guess and the text you see when you run configure. This can be accomplished in the cgicc-3.2.3/ directory with the following commands:

% ./support/config.guess > out
% cat config.log >> out
% mail -s "cgicc bug?" bug-cgicc@gnu.org < out

If you think you have tracked down the source of the bug, please also send a patch made with diff -U 5 which fixes the problem.
