Prerequisites

To get started with Fossil Io, ensure you have the following installed:

• Meson Build System: If you don’t have Meson installed, follow the installation instructions on the official Meson website.

Adding Fossil Io Dependency

Adding Fossil Io Dependency With Meson

1. Install Meson Build System: Install Meson version 1.3 or newer:

   python -m pip install meson           # To install Meson
   python -m pip install --upgrade meson # To upgrade Meson

2. Create a .wrap File: Add the fossil-io.wrap file in your subprojects directory and include the following content:

   # ======================
   # Git Wrap package definition
   # ======================
   [wrap-git]
   url = https://github.com/fossillogic/fossil-io.git
   revision = v0.1.7
   
   [provide]
   fossil-io = fossil_io_dep

3. Integrate the Dependency: In your meson.build file, integrate Fossil Io by adding the following line:

   dep = dependency('fossil-io')
