1 Intro 2 ===== 3 4 The C++ version of libaddressinput library provides UI layout information and 5 validation for address input forms. 6 7 The library does not provide a UI. The user of the library must provide the user 8 interface that uses libaddressinput. The user of the library must also provide a 9 way to store data on disk and download data from the internet. 10 11 The first client of the library is Chrome web browser. This motivates not 12 providing UI or networking capabilities. Chrome will provide those. 13 14 When including the library in your project, you can override the dependencies 15 and include directories in libaddressinput.gypi to link with your own 16 third-party libraries. 17 18 Dependencies 19 ============ 20 21 The library depends on these tools and libraries: 22 23 GYP: Generates the build files. 24 Ninja: Executes the build files. 25 GTest: Used for unit tests. 26 Python: Used by GRIT, which generates localization files. 27 RE2: Used for validating postal code format. 28 29 Most of these packages are available on Debian-like distributions. You can 30 install them with this command: 31 32 $ sudo apt-get install gyp ninja-build libgtest-dev python libre2-dev 33 34 Make sure that your version of GYP is at least 0.1~svn1395. Older versions of 35 GYP do not generate the Ninja build files correctly. You can download a 36 new-enough version from http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/gyp. 37 38 Make sure that your version of RE2 is at least 20140111+dfsg-1. Older versions 39 of RE2 don't support set_never_capture() and the packages don't provide shared 40 libraries. 41 42 If your distribution does not include the binary packages for the dependencies, 43 you can download them from these locations: 44 45 http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/gyp 46 http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/ninja-build 47 http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/libgtest-dev 48 http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/python 49 http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/libre2-1 50 http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/libre2-dev 51 52 Alternatively, you can download, build, and install these tools and libraries 53 from source code. Their home pages contain information on how to accomplish 54 that. 55 56 https://code.google.com/p/gyp/ 57 http://martine.github.io/ninja/ 58 https://code.google.com/p/googletest/ 59 http://python.org/ 60 https://code.google.com/p/re2/ 61 62 Build 63 ===== 64 65 Building the library involves generating an out/Default/build.ninja file and 66 running ninja: 67 68 $ export GYP_GENERATORS='ninja' 69 $ gyp --depth . 70 $ ninja -C out/Default 71 72 Overriding paths defined in the *.gyp files can be done by setting the 73 GYP_DEFINES environment variable before running gyp: 74 75 $ export GYP_DEFINES="gtest_dir='/xxx/include' gtest_src_dir='/xxx'" 76 77 Test 78 ==== 79 80 This command will execute the unit tests for the library: 81 82 $ out/Default/unit_tests 83 84 Discussion 85 ========== 86 87 Do you need help with libaddressinput? 88 https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/libaddressinput-discuss 89
