SimFQT aims at providing a clean API and a simple implementation, as a C++ library, of a Travel-oriented fare engine. It corresponds to the simulated version of the real-world Fare Quote or pricing system.

SimFQT makes an extensive use of existing open-source libraries for increased functionality, speed and accuracy. In particular the Boost (C++ Standard Extensions: http://www.boost.org) library is used.

SimFQT is the one of the components of the Travel Market Simulator (https://travel-sim.org). However, it may be used in a stand-alone mode.

Just use DNF:

$ dnf -y install simfqt-devel simfqt-doc

You can also get the RPM packages (which may work on Linux distributions like Novel Suse and Mandriva) from the Fedora repository (e.g., for Fedora Rawhide, https://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/fedora/devel/rawhide/x86_64/)

The Git repository may be cloned as following:

$ git clone git@github.com:airsim/simfqt.git simfqtgit # through SSH
$ git clone https://github.com/airsim/simfqt.git # if the firewall filters SSH
$ cd simfqtgit

Then, you need the following packages (Fedora/RedHat/CentOS names here, but names may vary according to distributions):

• cmake
• gcc-c++
• boost-devel / libboost-dev
• python-devel / python-dev
• gettext-devel / gettext-dev
• sqlite3-devel / libsqlite3-dev
• readline-devel / readline-dev
• ncurses-devel
• soci-mysql-devel, soci-sqlite3-devel
• stdair-devel / libstdair-dev
• sevmgr-devel / libsevmgr-dev
• doxygen, ghostscript, graphviz
• tetex-latex (optional)
• rpm-build (optional)

The latest stable source tarball (simfqt*.tar.gz or .bz2) can be found here: https://github.com/airsim/simfqt/releases

To customise the following to your environment, you can alter the path to the installation directory:

export INSTALL_BASEDIR="${HOME}/dev/deliveries"
export SFQ_VER="1.00.13"

Then, as usual:

• To configure the project
  • When dependencies are installed in standard directories (e.g., /usr):

  mkdir build && cd build
  cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/simfqt-${SFQ_VER} \
   -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Debug -DENABLE_TEST:BOOL=ON -DINSTALL_DOC:BOOL=ON \
   -DRUN_GCOV:BOOL=OFF ..

• When dependencies are installed in non-standard directories (e.g., in the same base directory as of RMOL, that is, ${INSTALL_BASEDIR}):

  mkdir build && cd build
  cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/simfqt-${SFQ_VER} \
   -DWITH_STDAIR_PREFIX=${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/stdair-stable \
   -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Debug -DENABLE_TEST:BOOL=ON -DINSTALL_DOC:BOOL=ON \
   -DRUN_GCOV:BOOL=OFF ..

• To build the project, type:

  make

• To test the project, type:

  make check

• To install the library (libsimfqt*.so*) and the binary (simfqt), just type:

  make install
  cd ${INSTALL_BASEDIR}
  rm -f simfqt-stable && ln -s simfqt-$SFQ_VER simfqt-stable
  cd -

• To package the source files, type:

  make dist

• To package the binary and the (HTML and PDF) documentation:

  make package

• To browse the (just installed, if enabled) HTML documentation:

  midori file://${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/simfqt-$SFQ_VER/share/doc/simfqt/html/index.html

• To browse the (just installed, if enabled) PDF documentation:

  evince ${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/simfqt-$SFQ_VER/share/doc/simfqt/html/refman.pdf

• To run the local binary version:

  ./simfqt/simfqt -b

• To run the installed version:

  ${INSTALL_BASEDIR}/simfqt-$SFQ_VER/bin/simfqt -b
