Kore (https://kore.io) is an easy to use web application framework for
writing scalable web APIs in C. Its main goals are security, scalability
and allowing rapid development and deployment of such APIs.

Because of this Kore is an ideal candidate for building robust, scalable and secure web things.

Building Kore
-------------
Requirements
* openssl (latest is always the safest bet, right?)
(note: this requirement drops away when building with NOTLS=1 NOHTTP=1)
2014-07-03 22:40:12 +02:00
Requirements for background tasks (optional)
2014-07-03 22:40:12 +02:00
* pthreads
Requirements for pgsql (optional)
2014-07-03 22:40:12 +02:00
* libpq
Normal compilation and installation:
```
# cd kore
# make
# make install
```
If you would like to build a specific flavor, you can enable
those by setting a shell environment variable before running **_make_**.
* TASKS=1 (compiles in task support)
* PGSQL=1 (compiles in pgsql support)
* DEBUG=1 (enables use of -d for debug)
2015-11-05 09:18:14 +01:00
* NOTLS=1 (compiles Kore without TLS)
* NOHTTP=1 (compiles Kore without HTTP support)
