- Error Reporting: Includes a comprehensive set of error codes and a lookup function to provide detailed error messages.
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.
-
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
-
Create a
.wrap
File: Add thefossil-io.wrap
file in yoursubprojects
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
-
Integrate the Dependency: In your
meson.build
file, integrate Fossil Io by adding the following line:dep = dependency('fossil-io')
Note: For the best experience, always use the latest release of Fossil Io. Visit the Fossil Io Releases page for the latest versions.
Fossil IO offers configurable options to tailor the build process to your needs:
