17 eina (1.0.0 or better)
18 (For windows you also need: evil)
20 Optional requirements:
21 gnutls (1.7.6 or better)
24 Eet is a tiny library designed to write an arbitary set of chunks of
25 data to a file and optionally compress each chunk (very much like a
26 zip file) and allow fast random-access reading of the file later
27 on. It does not do zip as a zip itself has more complexity than is
28 needed, and it was much simpler to implement this once here.
30 It also can encode and decode data structures in memory, as well as
31 image data for saving to eet files or sending across the network to
32 other machines, or just writing to arbitary files on the system. All
33 data is encoded in a platform independant way and can be written and
34 read by any architecture. This data once encoded can be sent to
35 another process or machine and decoded on the other end without
36 needing to go into an eet file. Eet can also optionally encrypt files
37 and use digital signatures (with gnutls or openssl support).

40 COMPILING AND INSTALLING:
44 (do this as root unless you are installing in your users directories):
47 To get the coverage report:
49 The report is created in the coverage/ subdir
50 If you want to be able to run coverage test over eet, you will need gcov
51 (usually any distro provides it) and lcov from:
52 http://ltp.sourceforge.net/coverage/lcov.php.
53 For coverage support you also need "make check" support with the check
56 For compilation with MinGW, fnmatch.h is probably missing. That file can be
58 http://www.koders.com/c/fid2B518462CB1EED3D4E31E271DB83CD1582F6EEBE.aspx
59 It should be installed in the mingw include directory.
61 For compilation with mingw32ce, run configure with the option
62 --host=arm-wince-mingw32ce
64 For compilation with cegcc, follow the wiki:
65 http://wiki.enlightenment.org/index.php/Category:EFL_Windows_CE
67 If you want to be able to run "make check", you need library check
68 from http://check.sourceforge.net/
