Tags with header only

[DraTeots]

Ok, there where no claims about single header. Only "header only". Sorry and thanks for the library!!!

The old Makefile stuff works everywhere (unlike CMake), no extra stuff required.
Once it is built you can use it from you CMake files :-)

But the easy way to install is to use it via brew

> brew install thors-serializer`

But building it should be as easy as:

> ./configure
> make
> sudo make install

To use the header only version.

> git clone --single-branch --branch header-only https://github.com/Loki-Astari/ThorsSerializer.git
  /PATH/TO/WHERE/I/WANT/TO/INSTALL/ThorsSerializer

 g++ -I /PATH/TO/WHERE/I/WANT/TO/INSTALL/ThorsSerializer MyFile.cpp

"Once it is built you can use it from you CMake files :-)"

Do you generate thors-serializerConfig.cmake and thors-serializer.cmake files?

[Loki-Astari]

No. But they should be trival to do if you know CMake (which I don't).

The only things you need are:

• where the header files are installed: -I<ThorHeaderDir>
• where the libraries are installed: -L<ThorLibraryDir>
• The name of the library; -l<libraryName>

Default values are (unless you do something special with the ./configure command)

ThorHeaderDir  => /usr/local/include
ThorLibraryDir  => /usr/local/lib
libraryName     => ThorSerialize17

If you build it but don't install it (i.e. you don't have root access).

THOR_ROOT    => <The director where you downloaded from git>/ThorsSerializer

ThorHeaderDir  => <THOR_ROOT>/build/include
ThorLibraryDir  => <THOR_ROOT>/build/lib
libraryName     => ThorSerialize17

[Loki-Astari]

If you create one I will add to the project for future developers to use.

According to this page: http://doc.aldebaran.com/qibuild/advanced/guide/cmake/writing_a_config_cmake.html

It should look like this:

thors-serializerConfig.cmake

clean(ThorsSerializer)
fpath(ThorsSerializer ThorSerialize/JsonThor.h)
flib(ThorsSerializer OPTIMIZED  ThorSerialize17)
flib(ThorsSerializer DEBUG  ThorSerialize17D)
export_lib(ThorsSerializer)

Let me know if this works.

Massively cleaned up the header only version.
