The full Centreon Clib documentation is available online here. It is generated from ReST files located in the ./doc/ directory of Centreon Clib sources.

Warning: Centreon Clib is a low-level component of the Centreon software suite. If this is your first installation you would probably want to install it entirely.
Centreon (the company behind the Centreon software suite) provides binary packages for RedHat / CentOS. They are available either as part of the Centreon Entreprise Server distribution or as individual packages on our RPM repository.
Once the repository installed a simple command will be needed to install Centreon Clib.

The reference repository is hosted at GitHub. Beware that the repository hosts in-development sources and that it might not work at all.
Stable releases are available as gziped tarballs on Centreon's download site.

This paragraph is only a quickstart guide for the compilation of Centreon Clib. For a more in-depth guide with build options you should refer to the online documentation.
Once the sources of Centreon Clib extracted, got to the ./build/ directory and launch the CMake command. This will look for required dependencies and print a summary of the compilation parameters if everything went fine.
$> cd centreon-clib/build
$> cmake .
...
Now launch the compilation using the make command and then install the software by running make install as priviledged user.
$> make -j 4
...
