Panda-Date - extremely fast Date C++ framework with timezones, microseconds, relative dates and intervals support.
If you are familliar with CMake and find_package then you already know what to do. Your project should use CMake to use Panda-Date. It does not neigther download nor install its dependencies. It should be observeble with find_package. There are several ways to achive it. In any case you will need the following list of dependencies:
- Panda-Lib https://github.com/CrazyPandaLimited/panda-lib
- [Optional] Catch2 https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2
Catch2 is used for tests. Tests are disabled by default. To turn it on set PANDA_DATE_TESTS=ON.
Clone all dependencies and Panda-Date itself anywhere to your project directory. Add following lines to CMakeLists.txt
#add_subdirectory(clone_dir/Catch2 ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/modules/Catch2)
add_subdirectory(clone_dir/panda-lib ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/modules/panda-lib)
add_subdirectory(clone_dir/Date ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/modules/Date)
target_link_libraries(your_target_name panda-date)Where clone_dir is place where you cloned dependencies, your_target_name is target of your project that depends on Panda-Date. Second argument of add_subdirectory is build dir, use any other directory you like.
First you need a directory for installed dependencies of your project, e.g. cmake/prefix. It can be anywhere and usually outside of project. Clone all dependencies and Panda-Date itself anywhere to any folder (in or outside of project). Then run the following script in each cloned folder:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=cmake/prefix
cmake --build .
cmake --build . --target installAdd following lines to your CMakeLists.txt
find_package(panda-date REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(your_target_name panda-date)Set CMAKE_MODULE_PATH to your folder on build step of Panda-Date. If you run cmake manually:
cmake .. -DCMAKE_MODULE_PATH=cmake/prefixPanda-Date was created as perl module. Perl documentation can be found here https://metacpan.org/dist/Date/view/lib/Date.pod C++ documentation is in progress.
Ragel is used to build parser. Generated files are commited to repo, so you do not need anything to build it. But if you want to change grammar you need ragel binary. Make sure CMake find_program can find it.
