Install#

Rust (crates.io)#

cargo add readcon-db
# library + CLI binary from the same crate:
cargo install readcon-db --locked

Requires readcon-core ^0.14 (pulled automatically).

Python (PyPI)#

pip install readcon-db
python -c "import readcon_db"

Install readcon (core) as well when you need CON parse/write outside the corpus API.

From source (developers)#

git clone https://github.com/lode-org/readcon-db
cd readcon-db
cargo test --locked
cargo build --release   # libreadcon_db + CLI readcon-db

readcon-core comes from crates.io (^0.14). To develop against a local core tree, add an untracked .cargo/config.toml:

[patch.crates-io]
readcon-core = { path = "../readcon-core" }

Python extension from a checkout:

pip install maturin
maturin develop --release --features python --manifest-path python/pyproject.toml

C / C++ (no cbindgen)#

include/readcon-db.h is hand-written and shipped. Optional include/readcon-db-mpi.h takes the caller’s MPI_Comm (not linked into the library). CMake FetchContent, Meson wrap, and pkg-config do not run cbindgen.

CMake:

include(FetchContent)
FetchContent_Declare(
  readcon-db
  URL https://github.com/lode-org/readcon-db/releases/download/v0.1.6/readcon-db-cxx-0.1.6.tar.gz
  URL_HASH SHA256=<sha256 from the .sha256 sidecar on the GitHub Release>
)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(readcon-db)
target_link_libraries(app PRIVATE readcon-db::shared)

From a checkout:

cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$PWD/prefix
cmake --build build && cmake --install build
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PWD/prefix/lib/pkgconfig
pkg-config --cflags --libs readcon-db

Meson: dependency('readcon-db') with a wrap pointing at readcon-db-cxx-$VERSION.tar.gz (see packaging/wrapdb/).

A process that uses both C APIs must link the shared objects (libreadcon_db.so and libreadcon_core.so). Do not static-link libreadcon_db.a together with libreadcon_core.a: the db archive already contains the Rust core and rust-std, and the duplicate symbols fail at link.

Prebuilt C ABI (no local cargo)#

Unpack readcon-db-clib-$VERSION-$target.tar.gz from the GitHub Release, then export READCON_DB_LIB / PKG_CONFIG_PATH. Attach assets to an already-published tag with Actions → C ABI library tarball → tag=vX.Y.Z.

VER=0.1.6
TARGET=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
curl -fsSL -O "https://github.com/lode-org/readcon-db/releases/download/v${VER}/readcon-db-clib-${VER}-${TARGET}.tar.gz"
tar -xzf "readcon-db-clib-${VER}-${TARGET}.tar.gz"
PREFIX="$PWD/readcon-db-clib-${VER}-${TARGET}"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig:${PKG_CONFIG_PATH:-}"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PREFIX/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:-}"
export READCON_DB_LIB="$PREFIX/lib/libreadcon_db.so"
pkg-config --cflags --libs readcon-db

The cxx tarball still needs rustc/cargo. The clib tarball is the Fortran / C path that does not.

Fortran#

fortran/ReadConDb (bind(C) against the C ABI). Notes: fortran/README.md. Smoke after unpacking the clib prefix:

cd fortran/ReadConDb
fpm build --flag "$(pkg-config --cflags readcon-db)" \
  --link-flag "$(pkg-config --libs readcon-db) -ldl -lpthread -lm"

From a checkout (after a release build of the cdylib):

cd fortran/ReadConDb && fpm build --flag "-I../../include" \
  --link-flag "-L../../target/release -lreadcon_db -ldl -lpthread -lm"

Campaign shard/drain/join is the readcon-db CLI (in bin/ of the clib tarball when the Release build produced it). See campaign ops.
