This guide provides instructions on how to install the simple_enum
library using vcpkg with an overlay port directly from a repository. Follow these steps to integrate simple_enum
into your C++ project.
First, clone the repository containing the simple_enum
overlay port.
cloning master
git clone https://github.com/arturbac/simple_enum.git path/to/your/local/overlay-ports-directory
cloning specific version ex v.5.7
git clone --branch v0.5.7 --single-branch https://github.com/arturbac/simple_enum.git path/to/your/local/overlay-ports-directory
or downloading and unpacking
wget https://github.com/arturbac/simple_enum/archive/refs/tags/v0.5.7.tar.gz -O simple_enum_v0.5.7.tar.gz
tar -xzvf simple_enum_v0.5.7.tar.gz -C path/to/your/local/overlay-ports-directory
With the overlay port for simple_enum
cloned to your local machine, you can now install the library using vcpkg. Use the --overlay-ports
option to specify the path to your overlay ports directory.
vcpkg install simple_enum --overlay-ports=path/to/your/local/overlay-ports-directory
After installation, use simple_enum
in your project by including the header files in your source code. Ensure your project’s build system is configured to use the vcpkg toolchain file for dependency resolution.
For further details on using vcpkg in your projects, refer to the vcpkg documentation.
