C++ Libraries

The SAGA C++ Libraries are being developed at Louisiana State University / CCT and currently represent the most complete adoption of the SAGA Core Standard (GFD-R-P.90) as well as upcoming standard extensions, like Service Discovery (GFD-R-P.144), Checkpoint and Recovery (GWD-R.96) and Adverts (GFD-R-P.XX).

The SAGA C++ Libraries should build and run on most 32/64-bit Linux/UNIX platforms including MacOS X. The only hard requirements are a somewhat recent C++ compiler (gcc >= 3.4) and a recent version of the Boost C++ Libraries (>= 1.3.3). The Python modules require Python 2.3 or higher. 

 

Available Adaptors

The SAGA C++ Libraries are Open Source software. Besides the native API packages, the C++ Libraries also contain the Python API Wrappers and an extensive set of middleware bindings (Adaptors):

Getting Started

The easiest way to get started with SAGA is to download the latest stable source release:

Next, you should check out the Quick Start manual (which does not exist yet, sorry) in the documentation section. It explains how to build and install the different SAGA implementations and how to write your first distributed Java/Python/C++ application with SAGA.
