## Quick Start (with CMake)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- CMake 3.5 or newer
|
|
|
|
|
- A C++14 compiler (Visual C++ 2015, GCC 5.0, Clang 3.4, or newer)
|
|
|
|
|
- OpenSSL headers and libraries (optional, but recommended; on macOS, via Homebrew: `brew install openssl`)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Building
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
$ git clone -b master https://github.com/pocoproject/poco.git
|
|
|
|
|
$ cd poco
|
|
|
|
|
$ mkdir cmake-build
|
|
|
|
|
$ cd cmake-build
|
|
|
|
|
$ cmake .. && cmake --build .
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can also run:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
$ sudo cmake --build . --target install
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in the `cmake-build` directory to install POCO (default `/usr/local` on Linux or macOS).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you do not want to or cannot use CMake, POCO can also be built with Visual Studio
|
|
|
|
|
(project and solution files included) or GNU Make.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please refer to the [documentation](https://pocoproject.org/docs) for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
POCO can also be obtained via different [package managers](https://pocoproject.org/download.html).

### POCO vs. Boost
|
|
|
|
|
|
2014-10-14 03:26:52 +02:00
|
|
|
In regards to Boost, in spite of some functional overlapping,
|
|
|
|
|
POCO is best thought of as a Boost complement (rather than replacement).
|
2016-03-12 16:42:25 +01:00
|
|
|
Side-by-side use of Boost and POCO is a very common occurrence.
