OpenCReports is a report generator engine based on ideas from RLIB with a complete reimplementation and licensed under LGPLv3.
The most up-to-date original repository was at https://github.com/SICOM/rlib which was (together with many others under https://github.com/SICOM) recently deleted. Ancient versions of RLIB are at https://sourceforge.net/projects/rlib
- language bindings other than C and PHP
- graphing (Graph, Chart XML elements)
- 0.9: Graph and Chart support in PDF (full feature parity with RLIB, with many extras)
- 1.0: GUI to create either code or XML
- 1.1: Possibly port the reporting library part to Windows and Android, GUI to Windows

OpenCReports (the library part) is free software, with "free" as in speech. It is licensed under LGPLv3.

The dependencies to build OpenCReports are:
- automake and autoconf
- GNU GMP and MPFR
- utf8proc
- libxml2
- libpaper
- libcsv
- yajl
- libgdk_pixbuf
- librsvg
- Cairo built with PDF support
- PangoCairo
- libpq (the PostgreSQL client library)
- mariadb-connector-c
- unixODBC (preferred) or iodbc
autoreconf -vif -Wall
./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64
make
sudo make install
OpenCReports contains a PHP module that supports PHP 7.0 or newer versions. It can be built after the OpenCReports engine is built and installed.
cd bindings/php
phpize
./configure
make
sudo make install
Create a test database in both a locally running PostgreSQL server and a MariaDB server:
cat tests/mariadb/create.sql | mysql -u root mysql
psql -f tests/postgresql/create.sql -U postgres postgres
There are a lot of unit tests for the engine itself also written in C, so build them first, possibly with as many jobs as the number of CPUs in your computer.
make -j16 -C tests
Run most of the tests that have stable results:
make -C tests test
There are some tests for which the results are inherently unstable, like using random(). Their results are expected to fail:
make -C tests unstable-test
There are some slow database tests:
make -C tests slow-test
This command runs all the above in one go:
make -C tests all-test
There are also PHP binding tests:
make -C tests php-test
