Developing on GNU/Linux

Using xmake

Step 1: Installing xmake

Using Debian and its derivatives as an example:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xmake-io/xmake
sudo apt install xmake

Sometimes, it's necessary to ensure that xrepo is up-to-date to ensure the usage of the latest dependency build definitions:

xrepo update-repo

Step 2: Installation and Usage

Taking xmake as an example:

Method 1: Local Installation

xmake config --yes
xmake build liblolly
xmake install --admin liblolly

Method 2: Adding xmake Dependency

In the library where lolly is required, add the following to xmake.lua:

add_requires("lolly", {system=false})

For a detailed example, refer to mogan.

Step 3: Compiling and Testing
