Abagnale Wiki

This wiki contains information regarding the Abagnale Algorithmic Trading System.

Packaging

It is our hope that packagers take interest and help adapt Abagnale to more distributions. The following description is provided as a starting point.

Prerequists

• ISO-C23 compatible C compiler
• yacc compatible parser generator
• PostgreSQL development files
• make or CMake

On most systems everything needed is provided in some kind of package repository already.

Debian

user@host:~$ apt-get install bison libecpg-dev make

OpenBSD

user@host:~$ doas pkg_add libstdthreads postgresql-client

Windows

Building

Debian

user@host:~/Ports/Abagnale-0-9680$ make
user@host:~/Ports/Abagnale-0-9680$ file abagnale
abagnale: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, BuildID[sha1]=879200b457c34817b140c661018c04c3e8ba6277, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, not stripped
user@host:~/Ports/Abagnale-0-9680$ file abagnalectl
abagnalectl: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, BuildID[sha1]=879200b457c34817b140c661018c04c3e8ba6277, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, not stripped

OpenBSD

You'll need to edit the Makefile and add -lstdthreads to the list of libraries to link with.

LDFLAGS+=-lstdthreads

As of this writing you also need to tweak compiler warnings by commenting out -Werror.

#WARNINGS+=-Werror

user@host:~/Ports/Abagnale-0-9680$ make
