It provides +tools, APIs, and library support that allow you to persist C++ objects +to a relational database (RDBMS) without having to deal with tables, +columns, or SQL and without manually writing any of the mapping code. +For more information see: + +http://www.codesynthesis.com/products/odb/ + +This package contains the pre-compiled binary distribution of the ODB +compiler for Windows. The top-level directory structure of this package +is as follows: + +bin/ ODB compiler binary +doc/ ODB system documentation +man/ man pages for the ODB compiler +mingw/ GCC compiler, MinGW, and MSYS binaries, see manifest + inside for details + +To install this package simply unpack it into a directory of your choice, +for example C:\tools. The ODB compiler binary will be in the bin\ +directory inside the package directory, for example +C:\tools\odb-x.y.z-i686-windows\bin\. You can run the ODB compiler by +either using the absolute path, for example: + + +C:\tools\odb-x.y.z-i686-windows\bin\odb --version + +Or you can add the bin\ directory to the Path environment variable. To +accomplish this, open Control Panel, then System, select the Advanced tab +and click on the Environment Variables button. If you have administrator +privileges, select the Path variable from the System variables list. +Otherwise, select (or create) the Path variable from the User variables +list. Click the Edit button and add the bin\ directory to the list. Click +Ok, then log off and log on again for the changes to take effect. Once this +is done, you should be able to run the ODB compiler by using just its name, +for example: + +odb --version + +Note also that while you can move the ODB compiler directory around, you +cannot move individual sub-directories or files inside it. For example, +copying the ODB compiler executable to +C:\Windows will not work. + +Send questions, bug reports, or any other feedback to the +odb-users@codesynthesis.com mailing list. -- cgit v1.1
