I'm trying to understand how to get
librsync
to work (ie. make signature/make delta/patch) under CENTOS 5.8 x86_64 standard (before I eventually try to compile it under windows), but since I'm mainly a Windows/Delphi guy, and given the lack of documentation, I'm having trouble running it.
Can someone tell me how to call librsync? I followed
the intructions
to compile it, which is basically:
$ ./configure
$ make all check
According the echoed output, it worked. I realize it's a library rather than a executable, so now I'm lost: how can I call librsync anyway?
As far as I can see, compiling librsync also resulted in generating an executable called rdiff, I tried calling it under putty, but it won't work either!
Basically you want to make a .c, compile it and link it to librsync.la (using a command such as gcc -o myprogram myprogram.o librsync.la)
Your .c program will include the librsync.h, and call the rs_??? functions that you need.
The rdiff.c file in the distribution seems to be a good sample. See the Makefile for the commands to run to compile your program (search for rdiff inside it).
