Building with the Cahute library

Warning

This guide assumes that you have already installed the Cahute library. If you have not, see Installing Cahute.

The instructions to build your project using the Cahute library depend on your build system; please read the correct section for yours!

Using cmake CMake

If your project is built using CMake, you can add the following to your CMakeLists.txt file, before defining your targets, to include and start building with Cahute:

pkg_check_modules(cahute REQUIRED cahute IMPORTED_TARGET)
link_libraries(PkgConfig::cahute)

Using pkg-config

Cahute defines the cahute pkg-config configuration. Therefore:

  • You can obtain the compilation flags by running the following command:

    pkg-config cahute --cflags

  • You can obtain the linking flags by running the following command:

    pkg-config cahute --libs

For example, if you want to compile a simple project using Cahute, you can use the following command:

cc main.c -o ./my_util `pkg-config cahute --cflags --libs`
