Dependencies

  • double-conversion (http://code.google.com/p/double-conversion/)

    By default, the build tooling for double-conversion does not build
    any libraries, which folly requires. To build the necessary libraries
    copy folly/SConstruct.double-conversion to your double-conversion
    source directory before building:

    [double-conversion/] scons -f SConstruct.double-conversion
    

    Then set CPPFLAGS/LDFLAGS so that folly can find your double-conversion
    build:

    [folly/] LDFLAGS=-L<double-conversion>/ CPPFLAGS=-I<double-conversion>/src/
      configure ...
    
  • googletest (Google C++ Testing Framework)

    Grab gtest 1.6.0 from:
    http://googletest.googlecode.com/files/gtest-1.6.0.zip

    Unzip it inside of the test/ subdirectory.
