Milestone
Hello,
I'v created proxy repository for using
GLFW
with hell packet/dependency manager as part of action to create ready to use set of most frequently used and valuable C++ open source libraries (I'm main contributor ofhell
).However during this task I found that
GLFW
have great support for cmake(clear options, nice install tree etc, which is unfortunately very uncommon for most of other projects) so proxy repository could be not needed if there could be added to root ofGLFW
official repository only one small file:.hell.json
.With content similar to:
It will allow
hell
tool to detect possible/declared options ofGLFW
during dependency tree resolving.In very short words
hell
is likenpm
orpip
but for C and C++(eventually other languages whichcmake
support), do not have central packets repository and works based on git tags +cmake
- so build everything from sources instead using precompiled binaries.More details about

supportSo finally question :)
Is there possibility to accept this kind of PR? I hope from your perspective it's very minor change, but from mine it will be something really awesome as
GLFW
can be first widely known project with native support for hell - because of that how niceGLFW
build system is maintained ;)The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
