libferrisloki

The libferrisloki project is an excellent Loki library that has been adapted to work smoothly with Linux. This library includes extensions in Extensions.hh that make it more advanced than the standard version. Also, the main library has been renamed to libferrisloki, and the headers are installed into FerrisLoki/ in include, so you can easily differentiate this version from others. However, keep in mind that this version of Loki requires libsigc++ to build.

Although libsigc++ could become a build dependent requirement, the author has decided not to separate it from the library yet. It's because they have sigc++ on all systems and don't want to spend time #ifdefing it.

Installation of this package is simple and straightforward. You start by CDing to the directory that contains the package's source code, type './configure,' and wait for the program to configure for your system. If you're using csh on an old version of System V, you might need to type 'sh ./configure' instead to prevent csh from trying to execute 'configure' itself.

After running configure, just type 'make' to compile the package, then 'make check' to run any self-tests that come with the package. Finally, type 'make install' to install the programs, data files, and documentation. If you want, you can clean up your system by typing 'make clean' to remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory. Also, you can use 'make distclean' to remove the files that configure created if you want to compile the package for a different type of computer.

Overall, the libferrisloki project is a fantastic library that can enhance the performance of any Linux application. The installation may take a while, but it's worth the wait. If you encounter any problems during installation or usage, you can contact the developers for support.
