C++ Simulated Travel-Oriented Distribution System Library

Summary

SimCRS aims at providing a clean API and a simple implementation, as a C++ library, of a Travel-oriented Distribution System. It corresponds to the simulated version of the real-world Computerized Reservation Systems (CRS).

SimCRS makes an extensive use of existing open-source libraries for increased functionality, speed and accuracy. In particular the Boost (C++ Standard Extensions: https://www.boost.org) library is used.

SimCRS is the one of the components of the Travel Market Simulator (https://travel-sim.org). However, it may be used in a stand-alone mode.

Installation

On Fedora/CentOS/RedHat distribution

Just use DNF:

$ dnf -y install simcrs-devel simcrs-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 Rawhide, https://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/fedora/devel/rawhide/x86_64/)

Building the library and test binary from Git repository

The Git repository may be cloned as following:

$ git clone git@github.com:airsim/simcrs.git simcrsgit # through SSH
$ git clone https://github.com/airsim/simcrs.git # if the firewall filters SSH
$ cd simcrsgit

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
• airrac-devel / libairrac-dev
• rmol-devel / librmol-dev
• airinv-devel / libairinv-dev
• simfqt-devel / libsimfqt-dev
• airtsp-devel / libairtsp-dev
• doxygen, ghostscript, graphviz
• tetex-latex (optional)
• rpm-build (optional)

Building the library and test binary from the tarball

The latest stable source tarball (simcrs*.tar.gz or .bz2) can be found here: https://github.com/airsim/simcrs/releases

To customise the following to your environment, you can alter the path to the installation directory:

export INSTALL_BASEDIR=${HOME}/dev/deliveries"
export CRS_VER="1.01.9"
if [ -d /usr/lib64 ]; then LIBSUFFIX="64"; fi
export LIBSUFFIX_4_CMAKE="-DLIB_SUFFIX=$LIBSUFFIX"

Then, as usual:

• To configure the project, type something like:

  mkdir build && cd build
  cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/simcrs-$CRS_VER \
   -DWITH_STDAIR_PREFIX=${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/stdair-stable \
   -DWITH_AIRRAC_PREFIX=${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/airtsp-stable \
   -DWITH_SEVMGR_PREFIX=${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/sevmgr-stable \
   -DWITH_AIRRAC_PREFIX=${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/airrac-stable \
   -DWITH_RMOL_PREFIX=${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/rmol-stable \
   -DWITH_RMOL_PREFIX=${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/airinv-stable \
   -DWITH_RMOL_PREFIX=${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/simfqt-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 (libsimcrs*.so*) and the binary (simcrs), just type:

  make install
  cd ${INSTALL_BASEDIR}
  rm -f simcrs-stable && ln -s simcrs-$CRS_VER simcrs-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://${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/simcrs-$CRS_VER/share/doc/simcrs/html/index.html

• To browse the (just installed, if enabled) PDF documentation:

  evince ${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/simcrs-$CRS_VER/share/doc/simcrs/html/refman.pdf

• To run the local binary version:

  ./simcrs/simcrs -b

• To run the installed version:

  ${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/simcrs-$CRS_VER/bin/simcrs -b
