Summary:

SimFQT aims at providing a clean API and a simple implementation, as a C++ library, of a Travel-oriented fare engine. It corresponds to the simulated version of the real-world Fare Quote or pricing system.

SimFQT 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.

SimFQT 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.

Getting and installing from the Fedora/CentOS/RedHat distribution:

Just use Yum: yum -y install simfqt-devel simfqt-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 22, http://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/releases/22/Everything/)

Building the library and test binary from Git repository:

The Git repository may be cloned as following: $ git clone [email protected]:airsim/simfqt.git simfqtgit # through SSH $ git clone https://github.com/airsim/simfqt.git # if the firewall filters SSH cd simfqtgit git checkout trunk

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
• sevmgr-devel / libsevmgr-dev
• doxygen, ghostscript, graphviz
• tetex-latex (optional)
• rpm-build (optional)

Building the library and test binary from the tarball:

The latest stable source tarball (simfqt*.tar.gz or .bz2) can be found here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/simfqt/files/

To customise the following to your environment, you can alter the path to the installation directory: export INSTALL_BASEDIR=/home/user/dev/deliveries export SFQ_VER=1.00.2 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=${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/simfqt-$SFQ_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 (libsimfqt*.so*) and the binary (simfqt), just type: make install cd ${INSTALL_BASEDIR} rm -f simfqt-stable && ln -s simfqt-$SFQ_VER simfqt-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://${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/simfqt-$SFQ_VER/share/doc/simfqt/html/index.html
• To browse the (just installed, if enabled) PDF documentation: evince ${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/simfqt-$SFQ_VER/share/doc/simfqt/html/refman.pdf
• To run the local binary version: ./simfqt/simfqt -b
• To run the installed version: ${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/simfqt-$SFQ_VER/bin/simfqt -b
