Test results

@	Build	Tests coverage
Master branch:

For Libre Office Users

Compilers tested on - MSVC 12.0 and GCC 4.6.*

To install this library, you need to perform the following steps -

On Linux

	sudo apt-get install libreoffice-dev

	cd /usr/lib/libreoffice/sdk

	source setsdkenv_unix.sh       # This sets the appropriate environment variables

	cd ~/libreoffice_sdk           # The folder name may vary

	# types.rdb was earlier available in /usr/lib/ure/share/misc/types.rdb (pre-libreoffice 5)
	cppumaker -Gc -O"$OO_SDK_OUT/include/" /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/types.rdb /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/types/offapi.rdb /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/types/oovbaapi.rdb   # Add -BUCR after -Gc if neccessary. You can also run an example in sdk directory for the same effect.

	cd boost_1_57_0/libs/ 	# The folder name may vary, it is your boost directory which you downloaded from sourceforge.

	git clone https://github.com/anuragxel/boost-generic-document-library.git document

	cd document/build

	../../../b2

	cd ../test

	chmod 000 Test3.ods #This is just to make tests run effectively

	soffice "--accept=socket,host=localhost,port=2083;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager" &  #Running the libreoffice server instance

	../../../b2   # This will run the test

On Windows

1. Install both LibreOffice 4.4 and LibreOffice 4.4 SDK by downloading them from the official website.

2. Open Your Command Prompt, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 4\sdk and run setsdkenv_windows.bat and provide the necessary paths. Install cat, sed, zip,

3. Add C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 4\URE\bin to the system PATH

4. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 4\sdk\bin and run the following command to generate the includes, cppumaker.exe -Gc -O"$OO_SDK_OUT\include" "C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 4\URE\misc\types.rdb" "C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 4\program\types\oovbaapi.rdb" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Libreoffice 4\program\types\offapi.rdb"

5. Change directory to the boost libs directory (assuming you have already run bootstrap.bat, else run it now)

6. Open a Git Bash instance and clone

   git clone https://github.com/anuragxel/boost-generic-document-library.git document

7. In the cmd instance,

   cd document\build

8. Run Commands nearly same as linux. :) However, you might need to start the soffice server manually.

For Micrsoft Office Users

ONLY SUPPORTED IN WINDOWS

You would need to have MSVC 12.0 (or higher) on your Windows Installation. (Untested on GCC or Clang).

1. Open a Git Bash instance and clone

   git clone https://github.com/anuragxel/boost-generic-document-library.git document at $lib_path\libs

2. In the bash instance,

   cd $lib_path/libs/document/build

3. run '../../../b2'

4. You may run the tests in test folder now using the same command as above.
