# bscxx
> bscxx (for bootstrap CXX project) is a very light utility software, written in C++ 17, to help you starting quickly a new C++ project using cmake.
Its end goal is to be a package manager, to easily include C++ modules to your project, deeply inspired by npm (node.js), composer (php) and cargo (rust).

## Prerequisite

To be able to build this project, you need a compiler which supports the last C++ 17 features, such as "filesystem".
So you'll need Visual Studio 17 or GCC 8 for example, at least, to be able to build this project from source.

## Installing / Getting started

[Warning] bscxx generates CMake build files, so you need to install CMake to be able to compile your C++ code with whatever compiler you want.

You have three choices to install bscxx.

1. You can download the [released version](https://github.com/Elkantor/bscxx/releases) (for now, it's just available on Windows 64 bits system), and add it to your environment path.
---

2. You can easily install bscxx with the help of [*__scoop__*,](https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop) a windows package manager for portable apps.
Start by installing *__scoop__* (on Windows only) with this PowerShell command (you need PowerShell 3 at least):
```shell
iex (new-object net.webclient).downloadstring('https://get.scoop.sh')
```

Now, open a new *__cmd__* and type this command to add this git repository as a scoop bucket:
```shell
scoop bucket add bscxx https://github.com/Elkantor/bscxx.git
```

Finally, install bscxx with this command:
```shell
scoop install bscxx
```

Now, you should be ready to use bscxx. You can test if it has correctly been installed by typing the following command for example:
```shell
bscxx -h
```
---

3. Or you can build bscxx yourself by cloning this repository:
```shell
git clone https://github.com/Elkantor/bscxx
cd bscxx
```

Create a build folder:
```shell
mkdir build
cd build
```

Run this cmake command to create the build system files.
You can use whatever build system you want like Make, MSVS/Cl... I personnaly prefer using [Ninja](https://ninja-build.org/) when I can.
If you don't have Ninja and want to use it, install it first (you can easily install it with *__scoop__* or *__chocolatey__*).
```shell
cmake .. -G "Ninja" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release && cmake --build .
```

And finally, launch the app to test it if everything compiled fine:
```shell
../build/src/bin/Release/bscxx -h
```

## Documentation

[Warning] bscxx is a young WIP project, so the documentation is not fully available for now, but will be released as soon as possible.

* [Getting started](./doc/getting_started.md)

## Developing

### Built and developed with

* [CMake](https://cmake.org/)
* C++ 17
* Lots of coffee

### Rules / Coding Standard

This project follow some rules, to be as consistent and comprehensible as possible.

* [semver](https://semver.org/), for the version of the package.
* [Google C++ Style Guide](https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html) : I do my best to try to conform to the Google C++ Style Guide, with only one exception: I use 4 spaces for indentations instead of 2.
