SkeletonMinRes

SkeletonMinRes allows you to easily embed resources into your C++ project using CMake. Resources can be any file; ranging from textures, GLSL sources, LUA scripts, etc.

How to use

The main requirement for usage is CMake.

Cloning

First clone the repo down. Here I like to use submodules with a thirdparty/<library_name>/repo type structure to keep things consistent.

git submodule add https://github.com/WiggleWizard/SkeletonMinRes.git thirdparty/SkeletonMinRes/repo

Then add the repo to your CMake file:

add_submodule(thirdparty/SkeletonMinRes/repo)

CMake

Now you can add your resources, by calling the provided embed_resources() function in your CMakeLists.txt file:

embed_resources(PROJECT_RESOURCES
    shaders/vertex.glsl
    shaders/frag.glsl
    scripts/main.lua
    config/engine.ini)

Then to add sources and allow the loader to be accessed:

add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} ${SOURCE_FILES} ${PROJECT_RESOURCES})
include_directories(${INCLUDE_DIRS} ${PROJECT_RESOURCES_INCLUDE_DIR})
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} SkeletonMinRes)

C++

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

#include <SkeletonMinRes/Loader.h>


int main()
{
    SkeletonMinRes::Resource text = LOAD_RESOURCE(config_engine_ini);
    cout << text.toString() << endl;

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
