There's much room for improvement in LeapCxx, and it may soon be wide-open to the open-source community.

As small changes can break the entire build, at a minimum we should maintain a .travis.yml file to test the basic configurations we have working so far, such as LeapC++Test unit-tests and the Sample.py sanity-test.

Currently LeapPython and LeapJava require setting USE_SHARED_LIBS to reflect that they must be built as DLLs. However, this also forces LeapC++.dll to be a DLL, leaving a fragile binding approach that requires three native DLLs in the following structure: managed code -> LeapPython.pyd -> LeapC++.dll -> LeapC.dll

Within the above chain, LeapPython.pyd and the code from LeapC++ can be compiled into a single LeapPython.pyd. In fact with the original Leap Motion Android alpha we actually resorted to such combining in order to make things work more smoothly without too many shared object files.

This is a nice-to-have. Alternatively the community can go straight to a ctypes-based language wrapper for LeapPython and the corresponding rewrite for LeapJava, then each binding requires only a single native DLL: LeapC.dll

Hello,

first, thanks for providing this Wrapper for the new LeapC SDK.
I am pretty inexperienced with CMake, so sorry some newbie questions.

I already worked with LeapCxx and used for this the CMake project from this Repo. So I build my files inside the samples folder.
Well, for the future I want a clean CMake project structure, so my question is how is the best way to build LeapCxx?
I only know some basic stuff like find_package() or find_library() with the prefix path or cmake-modules. I guess it does not work here.
Would be awesome if you could give an easy example, like a minimum CMake file, to build LeapCxx.

Thanks in advance

I expect to build the latest v5.7.2 SDK for python.
Can I successfully build it by simply replacing LeapSDK 4.0.0 with SDK 5.7.2?
I suspect this because the latest released UltraLeap uses a different architecture.
Thanks in advance!
