Hi, who can help me to add cpp libraries to project?

[heady swift]

I work in vs code. And I want to add xtd library to my project. I was take gradle init with cpp-application. I viewed cmake and make very difficult. But, not as in java gradle projects, gradle cpp project doesnt to download libs from repository as mavenCentral or jCenter. For me as Java developer it is very not understanded.

[vagrant bolt]

what library for example?

there is vcpkg, its a dependency manager that you can use

you added the tags linux, windows, mac, on what operating system are you?

[calm needle]

maclindows

[vagrant bolt]

[heady swift]

I'm on windows, but this is will be good and for another peoples on mac and linux

[vagrant bolt]

okay then use vcpkg

on linux you can use package manager

apt for example

[heady swift]

Can I use gradle?)

[heady swift]

Or can I use vcpkg with gradle?

[heady swift]

xtd library

Now I will send link

https://gammasoft71.github.io/xtd/

How i can add this lib to my project

[vagrant bolt]

that is for java

[vagrant bolt]

https://gammasoft71.github.io/xtd/docs/downloads

there is documentation on how to use

[heady swift]

https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/building_cpp_projects.html

[heady swift]

Gradle can compile cpp projects

[heady swift]

Yes, but I used gradle and I have downloaded this library and unarchived

And I transform it in my project, but when I run gradle build - crash happens

[vagrant bolt]

thats new to me

[vagrant bolt]

i cant help with gradle :{

people usually use cmake because cmake is cool

[heady swift]

Okay, How i can use cmake, and how I can install dependencies with it? As minimum, references

[wanton stag]

@heady swift has reached level 2. GG!

[vagrant bolt]

create a CMakeLists.txt

wait, what ide do you use?

[heady swift]

vscode

With special extensions

[vagrant bolt]

cmd -> cmake --version

using visual studio would be easier

[heady swift]

Now I was trying install cmake and vcpkg, and have it's installed, but when I trying to build cmake real project with vcpkg imported xtd library, I have error in command line

https://learn.microsoft.com/ru-ru/vcpkg/get_started/get-started?pivots=shell-cmd

Share your CMakeLists.txt

[heady swift]

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.20)
project(virtux-desktop-boot)

find_package(xtd REQUIRED)

add_executable(HelloWorld main.cpp)

target_link_libraries(HelloWorld PRIVATE xtd::xtd)

CMakePresets:

{
"version": 2,
"configurePresets": [

"binaryDir": "${sourceDir}/build",
"cacheVariables": {
"CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE": "$env{VCPKG_ROOT}/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake"
}
}
]
}

MSYS Makefiles is changed by me from Ninja

but no working

it looks like it, but it still doesn't make much sense to me.

cmake --preset=default

}
}
]
}

but i have installed msys2

with gcc, g++, gdb etc.

Can you please use code blocks next time?

[vocal canopy]

Change virtux-desktop-boot to HelloWorld

[heady swift]

It changed, but difference not was

[wanton stag]

@heady swift has reached level 3. GG!

[heady swift]
