airrac

C++ Simulated Revenue Accounting (RAC) System Library

Summary

AirRAC is a C++ library of airline revenue accounting classes and functions, mainly targeting simulation purposes.

AirRAC makes an extensive use of existing open-source libraries for increased functionality, speed and accuracy. In particular the Boost (C++ Standard Extensions: http://www.boost.org) library is used.

AirRAC is the one of the components of the Travel Market Simulator (http://www.travel-market-simulator). However, it may be used in a stand-alone mode.

Installation

On Fedora/CentOS/RedHat distribution

Just use DNF (or Yum on older distributions):

$ dnf -y install airrac-devel airrac-doc

You can also get the RPM packages (which may work on Linux distributions like Novel Suse and Mandriva) from the Fedora repository (e.g., for Fedora 38, https://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/fedora/38/x86_64/)

Building the library and test binary from Git repository:

The Git repository may be cloned as following:

$ git clone git@github.com:airsim/airrac.git airtspgit # through SSH
$ git clone https://github.com/airsim/airrac.git # if the firewall filters SSH
$ cd airracgit

Then, you need the following packages (Fedora/RedHat/CentOS names here, but names may vary according to distributions):

cmake
gcc-c++
boost-devel / libboost-dev
python-devel / python-dev
gettext-devel / gettext-dev
sqlite3-devel / libsqlite3-dev
readline-devel / readline-dev
ncurses-devel
soci-mysql-devel, soci-sqlite3-devel
stdair-devel / libstdair-dev
doxygen, ghostscript, graphviz
tetex-latex (optional)
rpm-build (optional)

Building the library and test binary from the tarball

The latest stable source tarball (airrac*.tar.gz or .bz2) can be found on GitHub: http://github.com/airsim/airrac/releases

To customise the following to your environment, you can alter the path to the installation directory:

export INSTALL_BASEDIR="${HOME}/dev/deliveries"
export AIRRAC_VER="1.00.8"
if [ -d /usr/lib64 ]; then LIBSUFFIX="64"; fi
export LIBSUFFIX_4_CMAKE="-DLIB_SUFFIX=$LIBSUFFIX"

Then, as usual:

To configure the project, type something like:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/airrac-${AIRRAC_VER} \
 -DWITH_STDAIR_PREFIX=${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/stdair-stable \
 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Debug -DENABLE_TEST:BOOL=ON -DINSTALL_DOC:BOOL=ON \
 -DRUN_GCOV:BOOL=OFF ${LIBSUFFIX_4_CMAKE} ..

To build the project, type:
```
make
```
To test the project, type:
```
make check
```

To install the library (libairrac*.so*) and the binary (airrac),

make install
cd ${INSTALL_BASEDIR}
rm -f airrac-stable && ln -s airrac-${AIRRAC_VER} airrac-stable
cd -

To package the source files, type:
```
make dist
```
To package the binary and the (HTML and PDF) documentation:
```
make package
```

To browse the (just installed, if enabled) HTML documentation:

midori file://${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/airrac-${AIRRAC_VER}/share/doc/airrac/html/index.html

To browse the (just installed, if enabled) PDF documentation:

evince ${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/airrac-${AIRRAC_VER}/share/doc/airrac/html/refman.pdf

To run the local binary version:
```
./airrac/airrac -b
```

To run the installed version:

${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/airrac-${AIRRAC_VER}/bin/airrac -b
