No file cppfs_api.h about cppfs HOT 5 CLOSED

Can you specify the following information?

• Your operating system
• Your compiler
• Do you build cppfs from source yourself or do you try to use it as a dependency?

Hi @scheibel. Currently encountering the same problem while using the header files in my project. If you check here: https://github.com/cginternals/cppfs/tree/master/source/cppfs/include/cppfs, the header file cppfs_api.h requested from the AbstractFileSystem.h does not exist at all.
Nor does the file exist anywhere in the repository at all: https://github.com/cginternals/cppfs/find/master

Thanks.

The file is not part of the source tree as it is generated during CMake build directory creation and configuration. That's why I asked for your build setup. You need to use an actual development package (either create it from source, where CMake get's executed and the cppfs_api.h is generated or use a pre-build cppfs package where this file is added, too).

Hi. I wanna use this library in my game engine.
it currently builds with premake and CMake.
CMake works fine because it generates cppfs_api.h file + adds it to include directories.
Is there any possible way to build cppfs using premake? Has anyone done it?
Or should I drop premake support?

Hi @OverShifted. As far as I can see, premake does not seem to support anything like cmake's configure_file or generate_export_header. If you want to support it, I guess it would be easiest to just add a static API header file instead of generating it, using some ifdefs to differentiate between the platforms you want to support , e.g., windows and unix. You can find plenty of examples how such a header file should look like, for example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19418908/creating-a-portable-library-to-run-on-both-linux-and-windows
