The Fossil SDK is a robust, platform-independent suite of components written in C and C++ designed to streamline the development of high-performance, cross-platform applications. Built using the Meson build system, the Fossil SDK leverages Meson's speed, flexibility, and simplicity to facilitate seamless compilation across various operating systems and architectures.
Key features of the Fossil SDK include:
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: Ensures consistent performance and functionality on Windows, macOS, Linux, and other platforms.
- Modular Design: Offers a collection of modular components that can be easily integrated and customized to meet specific project requirements.
- Efficient Build System: Utilizes Meson, a modern build system known for its fast build times and user-friendly syntax, which simplifies the configuration and maintenance of build environments.
- High Performance: Written in C, C++ to provide optimal performance and resource efficiency, making it suitable for both desktop and embedded applications.
- Extensive Documentation and Examples: Comes with comprehensive documentation and sample code to aid developers in getting started quickly and effectively.
The Fossil SDK is ideal for developers seeking a reliable and flexible foundation for creating high-quality software that needs to run efficiently across multiple platforms.
Before getting started, make sure you have the following installed:
- Meson Build System: This project relies on Meson. If you don't have Meson installed, visit the official Meson website for installation instructions.
-
Install Meson Build System: Before integrating the dependency, ensure you have Meson
1.2
or newer installed on your host system. You can install it with this command.python -m pip install meson # to install Meson python -m pip install --upgrade meson # to upgrade Meson
-
Adding Wrap File: You can add a
.wrap
, first go intosubprojects
directory and createfossil-sdk.wrap
next copy the defintion into the file:# ====================== # Git Wrap package definition # ====================== [wrap-git] url = https://github.com/dreamer-coding-555/fossil-sdk.git revision = v1.0.2 [provide] fossil-sdk = fossil_sdk_dep fossil-sdk-io = fossil_sdk_io_dep fossil-sdk-core = fossil_sdk_core_dep fossil-sdk-strings = fossil_sdk_strings_dep fossil-sdk-structure = fossil_sdk_structure_dep fossil-sdk-threads = fossil_sdk_threads_dep fossil-sdk-generic = fossil_sdk_generic_dep
-
Integrate the New Dependency: After creating the dependency
.wrap
file, you need to integrate it into your Meson project. This typically involves adding the dependency to yourmeson.build
file. Here's an example of how you might do that:dep = dependency('fossil-sdk') # includes everything
This line retrieves the
fossil-sdk
dependency, allowing you to use it in your project.
You have options when configuring the build, each serving a different purpose:
- Running Tests: To enable running tests, use
-Dwith_test=enabled
when configuring the build.
Example:
meson setup builddir -Dwith_test=enabled
