The TDE addressbook
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
The kab API is a binary interface for application developers that want to
|
|
use the users addressbook in their own applications. To use it, you have
|
|
to link the binary of your program against "libkab.so", a DLL that exports
|
|
kab's functions, and to include the header file "kabapi.h" in the KDE
|
|
include directory into your sources.
|
|
|
|
The documentation of the kab API is contained in the header file
|
|
(kabapi.h), you can extract it by parsing the file with kdoc. The kab
|
|
binary source directory in the tdeutils package contains a sample program
|
|
that tries to explain some basic functions of the API. It is important
|
|
that you report any bugs you find in the API or in the rest of kab to
|
|
|
|
mirko@kde.org
|
|
|
|
Since it is used in different other applications, and I cannot imagine all
|
|
the possible situations that might occur. Read the file README for some
|
|
details about the compiler environment you need to get this sources
|
|
compiled. Most of the possible problems should by now already be solved
|
|
automatically by the automake script, but you need, for example, a C++
|
|
compiler that handles templates properly.
