🚀 msvc-pkg

msvc-pkg consists solely of 📜scripts, 🔧patches, and 📄YAML configuration files. Leveraging MSVC/MSVC-like command-line 🛠️toolchains, it enables users to compile each library from source within the packages directory of this repository.

✨ Key Features

• 🔧 Fully relies on MSVC/MSVC-like toolchains to generate native Windows binaries
• 🛠️ Lightweight UNIX-like environment without requiring additional installations of Cygwin/MSYS2
• 🤖 Automatically generate dependency tree and detect circular dependencies based on package configurations
• 🌳 Nice view of dependency tree for each package on terminal
• 🌈 Rich and vibrant colors in the terminal during display output
• 🚧 Each library's build environment (UNIX-like or Windows) is isolated within the terminal
• 🔌 Enhanced compiler's wrappers for C/C++/Fortran/MPI and etc

📜 Special Notes

• Intel Compiler Support: 2024.2.1 is the final version supporting ifort

🚀 Getting Started

🏗️ Initial Setup

# Initial cloning
git clone https://github.com/jiangjianshan/msvc-pkg.git

# Commands below are dedicated for future content synchronization
cd msvc-pkg
git fetch origin main
git reset --hard origin/main

💡 Pro Tip: The settings.yaml will be created on the root of msvc-pkg folder if it is missing, you must check the content of it before run mpt with or without parameters.

🖥️ Basic Commands

Command	Description	Example Usage
mpt --list	List all available libraries which support by msvc-pkg	mpt --list
mpt	Build all libraries for default architecture (x64)	mpt
mpt <arch>	Build all libraries for specified architecture (x86/x64)	mpt x86
mpt <arch> <pkg1> <pkg2>...	Build specific packages with dependencies for specified architecture	mpt x86 gmp ffmpeg
mpt <pkg1> <pkg2>...	Build specific packages with dependencies	mpt gmp ffmpeg

➕ How To Add New Package

1. Create package directory in packages/, e.g. gmp
2. For those libraries using cmake, meson, autotools, msbuild, nmake and so on, take the examples inside packages/ and add required files:

   gmp/
   ├── sync.sh                # Source fetching and patching if have
   ├── build.bat/build.sh     # Script for build configuration, compile and install
   ├── config.yaml            # define package essential information
   └── *.diff                 # Patch files for this package (required if need)

🤝 Contributing
