NAME

       pwizlite - Custom reduced Proteowizard library

SYNOPSIS

       pwizlite is a shared object library (*.so file)

DESCRIPTION

       The  pwizlite shared object library is a reduced copy of the Proteowizard libpwiz library.
       The pwizlite library only contains code that allows the user to  load  XML-based  standard
       mass spectrometry formats: mzXML and mzML and MGF files.

       Rationale:  The  Proteowizard  project  uses  the  Boost  BJam build system to build their
       library and binary images. The source tree contains all the libraries that libpwiz depends
       upon.  The  configuration  of  BJam is so complicated that making the build system use the
       system-based libraries is terribly difficult. The Proteowizard project used to maintain an
       autotools build system port for GNU/Linux users. But that has been discontinued.

       Many projects (and mine also) have resorted to using a reduced set of libpwiz source files
       only directed at building the XML-based and MGF format file-loading  capabilities.  In  my
       packaging  experience,  at  least  one package makes use of such a subset copy of libpwiz.
       Having a package like pwizlite in Debian will ease packaging of all the other packages.

EXAMPLES

       • To include files from the pwizlite library, write an inclusion statement of this sort:

         #include <pwizlite/pwiz/<path>/<to>/<file.h>

       • To link to the pwizlite library add a linker flag: -lpwizlite.

       • To CMake-find the package: find_package(PwizLite)

       • To CMake-configure the package: find_package(PwizLiteConfig.cmake)

       • To use the pkgconfig system: pkg-config --help pkg-config --libs pwizlite
