Fossil Lib by Fossil Logic

Fossil Lib is a versatile, cross-platform utilities library designed to provide essential functionalities for high-performance application development. It includes a suite of common utilities such as host system interaction, command execution, a cnullptr type definition, and secure memory management. Fossil Lib is implemented in both C and C++ and is optimized for consistency and efficiency across various operating systems.

Key Features

1. Cross-Platform Compatibility: Provides a uniform interface and consistent behavior across major operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux.
2. Modular Design: Contains modular components that can be easily integrated and customized for specific project needs.
3. Efficient Build System: Built using the Meson build system, which ensures fast build times and a straightforward development process.
4. High Performance: Developed in C and C++ to maximize performance and resource efficiency, suitable for both desktop and embedded systems.
5. Extensive Documentation: Offers comprehensive documentation and examples to help developers quickly understand and utilize the library.

Prerequisites

Before using Fossil Lib, ensure you have the following:

• Meson Build System: Install Meson to manage the build process. For installation or upgrading, use:

  python -m pip install meson           # to install Meson
  python -m pip install --upgrade meson # to upgrade Meson

Adding Dependency

1. Install Meson Build System: Ensure Meson 1.3 or newer is installed on your system.

2. Add Wrap File: Create a .wrap file (e.g., fossil-lib.wrap) in the subprojects directory with the following content:

   # ======================
   # Git Wrap package definition
   # ======================
   [wrap-git]
   url = https://github.com/fossillogic/fossil-lib.git
   revision = v0.1.1
   
   [provide]
   fossil-lib = fossil_lib_dep

3. Integrate Dependency: Add the dependency in your meson.build file:

   dep = dependency('fossil-lib')

Configure Options

• Running Tests: Enable testing by configuring with -Dwith_test=enabled.

Example:

meson setup builddir -Dwith_test=enabled
