Adding to vcpkg
schultetwin1 opened this issue · 10 comments
I have a fork of vcpkg (https://github.com/schultetwin1/vcpkg/tree/add_elfio_port) which will add elfio to vcpkg. If you're ok with it, I'd like open a pull request to merge elfio into vcpkg officially.
In order to do so, it would probably be better to wait for the next official release of ELFIO. So I'll wait for the next release and then put the pull request out.
There is no problem to produce the next official release. I'll do it today
The library official release 3.8 has been published
Awesome! Thank you for the quick turn around!
PR is out microsoft/vcpkg#14314! I'll close this issue when it's complete
Completed! microsoft/vcpkg/pull/14314
ELFIO is now on vcpkg.
Hi Matt,
Thank you very much! It is a huge achievement for the library.
I don't know vcpkg policies, but I didn't find 'examples' folder in 'share/elfio' directory of the distribution. Is it feasible to add it?
My dream is to find a maintainer for Debian distribution too. By a chance, do you know a ‘mentor’ who can do this?
Thank you,
Serge

As mentioned in #56, normally vcpkg is only used for distributing the code needed to build, not for distributing examples. The maintainer guidelines for vcpkg also asks maintainers to not distribute examples (or tests).

I don't know too much about Debian distribution, but I do know we can have CMake create a .deb package (using cpack which comes with CMake). I can work on generating a .deb package as part of the build?
I have a private repository called ELFIOPackaging. The repository contains manual steps to produce .deb package. I think CMake can do it more professionally. So, yes, it would be great to have this generation as a part of the build
I have changed the visibility of the project to be ‘public’. You can see there what I have so far: ELFIOPackaging
Sorry, it should be OK for the third time 8-(

I saw that they require not to build examples/tests. But, I think that it is OK to distribute them. Am I missing anything?
