Introduction

This repository contains helper classes for my projects, which mostly target Windows.

Licensing

The source code of this library is provided under the MIT license.

Integrating the component

Prebuilt versions of the project can be retrieved from Nuget under the name Axodox.Common and added to Visual Studio C++ projects (both desktop and UWP projects are supported) with the x64 platform.

Basic integration:

• Add the Axodox.Common packages to your project
• Ensure that your compiler is set to C++20, we also recommend enabling all warnings and conformance mode
• Add the following include statement to your code file or precompiled header: #include "Include/Axodox.*.h"

Building the project

Building the library is required to make and test changes. You will need to have the following installed to build the library:

• Visual Studio 2022
  • Select the following workloads:
    • Desktop development with C++
    • Game development with C++
    • Universal Windows Platform development
    • C++ (v143) Universal Windows Platform tools

You can either run build_nuget.ps1 or open Axodox.Common.sln and build from Visual Studio.

Once you have built the library, you override your existing nuget package install by setting the AxodoxCommon-Location environment variable to point to your local build.

For example C:\dev\axodox-common\Axodox.Common.Universal for an UWP app and C:\dev\axodox-common\Axodox.Common.Desktop for a desktop app.

This allows to add all projects into the same solution and make changes on the library and your app seamlessly without copying files repeatedly.
