Feed Reader

An experiment in learning c by making a simple feed reader.

What does it do?

Right now it can find the feed url for a given site and save it to the named sqlite database.

Example:

./feed-reader db.sqlite3 "Peter Debelak" peterdebelak.com

Building

Run make.

Has only been built on os x, but could work on linux. Relies on sqlite3, libxml2, and curl being present on the system. Also uses strdup which is non-standard and may not be present on some systems.

If you are having problems with libxml2 on os x, you might need to run brew install libxml2 and brew link libxml2 --force.

Testing

Feed Reader uses Unity for testing. Testing the http code uses ruby to run a fake http server so you will need ruby installed on your system to run those tests.

Run make test to run tests.
