Common C++ classes and routines used by my applications such as argument parser, IO and conversion utilities.
|
||||
|
||||
## Build instructions
|
||||
Building the library is simple:
|
||||
```
|
||||
INSTALL_ROOT=/where/you/want/to/install qmake-qt5 c++utilities.pro
|
||||
make && make install
|
||||
```
|
||||
As you can see, the qmake build system is used. However the library itself does *not* depend on Qt.
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
* C++ compiler supporting C++11 (I've tested GNU g++, Clang and mingw-w64 yet.)
|
||||
* CMake to build
|
||||
* cppunit to build and run unit tests after building
|
||||
* The c++utilities library only depends on the C++ standard library. For Dependencies of my other projects
|
||||
see the README.md of these projects.
|
||||
|
||||
It is also possible to build the library using CMake:
|
||||
### How to build
|
||||
Just run:
|
||||
```
|
||||
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/where/you/want/to/install project/directory
|
||||
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/where/you/want/to/install" "path/to/projectdirectory"
|
||||
make
|
||||
make check # build and run unit tests (optional)
|
||||
make install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Building with qmake is also possible:
|
||||
```
|
||||
INSTALL_ROOT="/where/you/want/to/install" qmake-qt5 "path/to/projectfile"
|
||||
make && make install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In any case, the make option *-j* might be used to compile multiple files in parallel.
|
||||
Building for Windows with Mingw-w64 cross compiler can be utilized using a small
|
||||
[cmake wrapper from Fedora](https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/mingw-cmake.sh?h=mingw-w64-cmake):
|
||||
```
|
||||
${_arch}-cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/where/you/want/to/install" "path/to/projectdirectory"
|
||||
make && make install
|
||||
```
|
||||
To create *.ico files for application icons ffmpeg is required.
|
||||
|
||||
The repository PKGBUILDs (also on GitHub) contains files for building Arch Linux packages. A PKGBUILD file to build for Windows using the Mingw-w64 compiler is also included.
|
||||
In any case, the make option *-j* can be used for concurrent compilation.
|
||||
|
||||
### Creating Arch Linux package
|
||||
The repository PKGBUILDs (also on GitHub) contains files for building Arch Linux packages.
|
||||
PKGBUILD files to build for Windows using the Mingw-w64 compiler are also included.
|
||||
|
||||
### Notes
|
||||
* Because of [GCC Bug 66145](https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66145) usage of the new libstdc++ ABI
|
||||
is currently disabled. Linking against cppunit built using new libstdc++ ABI isn't possible.
|
||||
|
||||
## TODO
|
||||
- provide unit tests
|
||||
- rewrite argument parser
|
||||
- remove unused features
