This document contains installation instructions for some C++ tools and libraries. It uses the cross-platform build system CMake whenever the software to download, build, configure (and run) supports it.
By default the process is described for a *-nix operating system (OS).
The process described here works very good, if the installed software is added to the path. It is suggested to do this, by adding the following lines to the /etc/profile.local file:
export PATH=/opt/clang+llvm/default/bin:/opt/cloc/default/bin:/opt/cmake/default/bin:/opt/cppcheck/default/bin:/opt/doxygen/default/bin:/opt/flawfinder/default/bin:/opt/gcovr/default/bin:/opt/packetsender/default/bin:/opt/protobuf/default/bin:/opt/qtcreator/default/bin:/opt/qt/default/5.5/gcc_64/bin:/opt/qt/qt-5.5.1:/opt/qt/default/Tools/QtCreator/bin:$PATH

Try to run a syntax check on a file using clang++:
clang++ -v main.cc -fsyntax-only
Check the standard/error output. If the output contains something similar to the following, Clang is unable to detect libstd++:
main.cc:1:10: fatal error: 'iostream' file not found
#include <iostream>
^
1 error generated.
Check the include paths of GCC:
g++ -v -x c++ /dev/null -fsyntax-only
Add the include paths missing for Clang to the environment variable
CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH:
export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include/c++/5:/usr/include/c++/5/x86_64-suse-linux:$CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH
Check via the following command:
clang++ -v -x c++ /dev/null -fsyntax-only

The installation of Sodium can be tested by creating the following C++ program
(file hello_sodium.cc):
#include <iostream>
#include <sodium.h>
int main() {
if (sodium_init() == -1) {
return 1;
}
std::cout << "hello, sodium\n";
}
Execute the following to compile, link and run the program:
g++ -o hello_sodium hello_sodium.cc -lsodium
./hello_sodium
The following should be printed to the standard output:
hello, world
