Add to project

Using Conan

Add remote:

Conan may have issues with my own artifactory server. Please, use manual installation in case of any problems.

conan remote add edwardstock https://conan.edwardstock.com/artifactory/api/conan/conan

Add to conanfile.txt:

[requires]
toolbox/3.5.0@edwardstock/latest

[options]
toolbox/*:shared=False # default is False

[generators]

Include to your CMake project

• Add submodule or just clone

  • git submodule add https://github.com/edwardstock/toolbox.git /path/to/libs/toolbox
  • git clone https://github.com/edwardstock/toolbox.git /path/to/libs/toolbox

• Edit CMakeLists.txt:

# your executable or library
add_executable(my_executable)
#or if library
add_library(my_library)

# include module
add_subdirectory(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/path/to/libs/toolbox)

# link with your project
target_link_libraries(my_[executable|library] toolbox)

or using CMake FetchContent

include(FetchContent)
fetchcontent_declare(
	toolbox
	GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/edwardstock/toolbox.git
	GIT_TAG 3.4.0
)
set(toolbox_BUILD_TESTS OFF)
set(toolbox_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS OFF)
fetchcontent_makeavailable(toolbox)

add_executable(my_app main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(my_app toolbox)

Global Install

This library is Header-Only, so build isn't required. But you can install globally:

git clone https://github.com/edwardstock/toolbox.git toolbox && cd toolbox/build
cmake --build . --target install

Then include into a project:

find_package(toolbox REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(my_[executable|library] toolbox::toolbox)

Testing

git clone https://github.com/edwardstock/toolbox.git toolbox && cd toolbox/build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DENABLE_TEST=On
cmake --build . --target toolbox-test
./toolbox-test

Build with CLang on linux

Probably, if you are compiled clang from the sources, linker may not found libc++.so in default lib path. You could manually add it to LD_LIBRARY_PATH or using sudo -s source llvm_config.sh.

By default, script installs:

• header to: /usr/local/include/toolbox.hpp
