app is core repository of ca2 framework.
ca2 is an all-purpose multi-platform framework and set of libraries written in C++ language to help developers create great apps for users.
a. "helloworld" project is a project at https://github.com/ca2/app-simple.git repository ( https://github.com/ca2/app-simple/tree/master/appseed/helloworld ). Please, regard it as any project you are willing to work with.
b. "ca2/app-simple" repository is the repository where lies "helloworld" project. Please, regard it as any repository and depending repository(ies) you are required to download to work with your project.
- Create a folder. It will be referred here as root folder. Something like C:\test_hello_planet or C:\users\username\lets_start, or any other meaningful name for your workflow. Please, don't use any spaces or special characters, or parent folders with any spaces or special characters. This will avoid issues at compile time.
- Immediatelly below root folder, create new empty folder named "app".
- Clone https://github.com/ca2/app.git into this app folder.
- Immediatelly below root folder, create new empty folder named "include".
- Clone https://github.com/ca2/include.git into this include folder.
- Immediatelly below root folder, create new empty folder named "nodeapp".
- Clone https://github.com/ca2/nodeapp-windows.git into this nodeapp folder. Notice that nodeapp folder doesn't follow convention of naming the folder after exact repository name. The dash-platform-code-name suffix, in this case, "-windows", is stripped from it.
- Immediatelly below root folder, create any new folder(s) related to the project repository(ies). For our simple tutorial, only "ca2/app-simple" repository is needed, so create a folder named "app-simple".
- Clone to this(these) folder(s), the respective repositories related to the ca2-based app of interest. In our case, clone https://github.com/ca2/app-simple.git into app-simple folder.
- At main project specific folder, in our case, app-simple, under seed/metaseed subfolder, find desired "Visual Studio" solution file to open. In this case, app_simple_helloworld.sln. Enjoy!!
a. "hiconstellation" is a new project based on the "helloworld" project from previous Procedure. Please, regard it as any project with any proper non-conflicting name you are willing to create.
b. "user/galaxy" is a local repository or fork repository based on "app-simple" repository from previous Procedure. Please, regard it as any repository and depending repository(ies) you are required to download or create to work with your project. It can be the own repository, in which case you will be creating copies of the project inside the existing repository.
Repeat steps 1 through 7 from Procedure above for the project and related repositories you want your new project be based on. Then locate the following subfolders at project specific folder (user/galaxy):
-
appmatter/helloworld and copy recursively subfolders and files to appmatter/hiconstellation making proper changes at resource and asset files as desired.
-
appseed/helloworld and copy recursively subfolders and files to appseed/hiconstellation making proper changes at project files, like headers and sources, regarding mainly and initially the project name change.
-
seed/metaseed/app_simple_helloworld.sln and copy to seed/metaseed/app_simple_hiconstellation.sln.
With just proper renaming, you will be able to open and build your new crafted project.
