# MECAPS
**M**odern **E**mbedded **C**++ **AP**plication **S**tarter.
A template for a C++ application using
[KDUtils](https://github.com/KDAB/KDUtils) as cross-platform application core library, [Slint](https://slint.dev) for the user interface and CMake for the build system.
## About
This starter pack helps you to get started developing a C++ application with KDUtils as cross-platform application core library and Slint as toolkit for the user interface.
The starter pack comes with the following integrations that are all hooked into KDFoundations' event loop and come with neat APIs using KDBindings providing properties, signals and slots:
* curl integration
* mosquito integration
## Prerequisites
In order to use this template and build a C++ application, you need to install a few tools:
* **[cmake](https://cmake.org/download/)** (3.21 or newer)
* **[git](https://git-scm.com/)** (to fetch dependencies)
* **[slint](https://slint.dev/)** (optional)
* C++ compiler that supports C++ 20
If your target environment is Linux or Windows on an x86-64 architecture, then you may also opt into downloading one of Slint's binary packages. These are pre-compiled and require no further tools. You can find setup instructions and download links at
Alternatively, this template will automatically download the Slint sources and compile them. This option requires you to install Rust by following the [Rust Getting Started Guide](https://www.rust-lang.org/learn/get-started). Once this is done, you should have the ```rustc``` compiler and the ```cargo``` build system installed in your path.
### Linux
Some packages are needed on Linux to compile mecaps and its dependencies. On Debian/Ubuntu these
are:
```
sudo apt install build-essential cmake git libxkbcommon-dev libxcb-xkb-dev libxkbcommon-x11-dev wayland-scanner++ wayland-protocols libwayland-dev libmosquittopp-dev
```
## Usage
1. Clone or download this repository
```
git clone "https://@codereview.kdab.com/a/kdab/mecaps" my-project
cd my-project
```
2. Configure with CMake
```
mkdir build
cmake -B build
```
3. Build with CMake
```
cmake --build build
```
4. Run the application binary
* Linux/macOS:
```
./build/demo/mecaps_demo_ui
```
* Windows:
```
build\demo\mecaps_demo_ui.exe
```
