## Features
|
||||
The library utilizes:
|
||||
* parsing command-line arguments
|
||||
* chronology (DateTime and TimeSpan classes)
|
||||
* conversion of primitive data types to byte-buffers (litte-endian, big-endian) and vice versa
|
||||
* dealing with chronology (DateTime, TimeSpan)
|
||||
* conversion of primitive data types to byte-buffers and vice versa, supporting
|
||||
litte-endian and big-endian
|
||||
* common string conversions/operations, eg.
|
||||
- split, join, findAndReplace
|
||||
- numberToString, stringToNumber
|
||||
- encodeBase64, decodeBase64
|
||||
* IO
|
||||
- reading/writing primitive data types of various sizes (little-endian, big-endian)
|
||||
- reading/writing primitive data types of various sizes (little-endian and big-endian)
|
||||
- reading/writing terminated strings and size-prefixed strings
|
||||
- bitwise reading
|
||||
- parsing INI files
|
||||
* building with CMake by providing some modules and templates
|
||||
|
||||
## Build instructions
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
#### Build-only dependencies
|
||||
* 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
|
||||
* The c++utilities library only depends on the C++ standard library. For dependencies of my other projects
|
||||
check the README.md of these projects.
|
||||
* CMake (I've only tested 3.5.1 so far.)
|
||||
* cppunit for unit tests (optional)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Runtime dependencies
|
||||
* The c++utilities library itself only needs the C/C++ standard library.
|
||||
* For dependencies of my other projects check the README.md of these projects.
|
||||
|
||||
### How to build
|
||||
Just run:
|
||||
```
|
||||
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/where/you/want/to/install" "path/to/projectdirectory"
|
||||
cd "path/to/build/directory"
|
||||
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/final/install/location" "path/to/projectdirectory"
|
||||
make
|
||||
make check # build and run unit tests (optional)
|
||||
make install
|
||||
make DESTDIR="/temporary/install/location" install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### General notes
|
||||
* The make option *-j* can be used for concurrent compilation.
|
||||
* Building with qmake is not supported anymore.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Building for Windows
|
||||
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
|
||||
${_arch}-cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/final/install/location" "path/to/projectdirectory"
|
||||
make DESTDIR="/temporary/install/location" install-mingw-w64-strip
|
||||
```
|
||||
To create *.ico files for application icons ffmpeg is required.
|
||||
* To create the \*.ico file for the application icon ffmpeg/avconv is required.
|
||||
* The target ```install-mingw-w64-strip``` in the example will only install files
|
||||
suitable for creating a cross-compiler package and additionally strip the binaries.
|
||||
|
||||
In any case, the make option *-j* can be used for concurrent compilation.
|
||||
#### Development builds
|
||||
During development I find it useful to build all required projects (for instace c++utilities, qtutilities, tagparser and tageditor) as one big project.
|
||||
|
||||
This can be easily achieved by using CMakes ```add_subdirectory()``` function. For project files
|
||||
see the repository [subdirs](https://github.com/Martchus/subdirs).
|
||||
|
||||
For a debug build, just use ```-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug```.
|
||||

||||
### Creating Arch Linux package
|
||||
The repository [PKGBUILDs](https://github.com/Martchus/PKGBUILDs) contains files for building Arch Linux packages.
