Yasmina performs a variety of quick checks to semi-decide compatibility of services. The results may be used during service discovery to narrow down the search for a compatible partner service. Please find more information in the science section. One possible input for Yasmina are fingerprints, as provided by Linda.

Install Yasmina

Requirements

Installing and running Yasmina requires a bunch of other tools:

Compiling requires:

• GNU Libtool - The GNU Portable Library Tool - GNU libtool is a generic library support script. Libtool hides the complexity of using shared libraries behind a consistent, portable interface.
• GCC - The GCC compiler
• gcc

Testing requires:

• Autotools test suite - Part of the GNU Auto-Tools for automated Tests

Contributing requires:

• Bison - Gnu parser generator - Bison is a general-purpose parser generator that converts an annotated context-free grammar into a deterministic LR or generalized LR (GLR) parser employing LALR(1) parser tables.
• GNU Gengetopt - Gengetopt generates a C function that uses getopt_long function to parse the command line options, to validate them and fills a struct .
• flex: The Fast Lexical Analyzer - Flex is a tool for generating scanners. A scanner, sometimes called a tokenizer, is a program which recognizes lexical patterns in text. The flex program reads user-specified input files, or its standard input if no file names are given, for a description of a scanner to generate.
