Colorer library

Colorer is a syntax highlighting library. build

How to build from source

Main

To build library and other utils from source, you will need:

  • Visual Studio 2019 or higher / gcc 7 or higher
  • git
  • cmake 3.10 or higher

Windows

Download the source of Colorer, for example, in colorer-library:

git clone https://github.com/colorer/Colorer-library.git --recursive colorer-library

Setup vcpkg

cd colorer-library
./external/vcpkg/bootstrap-vcpkg.bat

Build colorer and dependency, if they are not in the local cache:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -S .. -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../external/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake -DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET=x64-windows-static -DVCPKG_OVERLAY_PORTS=../external/vcpkg-ports -DVCPKG_FEATURE_FLAGS=manifests,versions
colorer.sln

For x86 platform use --triplet=x86-windows-static. Once built, the dependencies will be cached in the local cache.

Linux

You may build library on linux using standard package, without vcpkg.

Ubuntu example

sudo apt install libicu-dev libxerces-c-dev libspdlog-dev libfmt-dev zlib1g-dev libminizip-dev
git clone https://github.com/colorer/Colorer-library.git
cd Colorer-library
mkdir _build
cmake -S . -B _build -G "Ninja" -DCOLORER_USE_VCPKG=OFF
cmake --build _build -j$(nproc --all)

CentOS Example

sudo yum install libicu-devel xerces-c-devel spdlog-devel fmt-devel zlib-devel minizip1.2-devel
git clone https://github.com/colorer/Colorer-library.git
cd Colorer-library
mkdir _build
cmake -S . -B _build -G "Ninja" -DCOLORER_USE_VCPKG=OFF
cmake --build _build -j$(nproc --all)

MacOS

brew install xerces-c spdlog icu4c minizip ninja
git clone https://github.com/colorer/Colorer-library.git
cd Colorer-library
mkdir _build
cmake -S . -B _build -G "Ninja" -DCOLORER_USE_VCPKG=OFF
cmake --build _build -j$(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN)
