# setup-cpp
Install all the tools required for building and testing C++/C projects.

Setting up a **cross-platform** environment for building and testing C++/C projects is a bit tricky. Each platform has its own compilers, and each of them requires a different installation procedure. This package aims to fix this issue.
This package is designed to be **modular** and as **minimal** as possible. This will allow you to install the tools you want. It is continuously tested on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
The package can be used locally or from CI services like GitHub Actions. Stay tuned for the stable release.
# Features
`setup-cpp` can install all of these tools:
- llvm
- gcc
- cmake
- ninja
- meson
- conan
- ccache
- cppcheck
- doxygen
- gcovr
- opencppcoverage
- python
- choco
- brew
# Usage
## From Command Prompt
You should download the exe file or the js file (if have Nodejs installed), and run it with the available options.
Tip: You can automate downloading using `wget`, `curl` or other similar tools.
### Executable
Download the executable for your platform from [here](https://github.com/aminya/setup-cpp/releases/tag/v0.1), and run it with the available options.
A Windows example that installs llvm, cmake, ninja, ccache, and conan.
```
./setup_cpp_windows.exe --compiler llvm --cmake true --ninja true --ccache true --conan "1.40.1"
```
### With Nodejs
Download the `setup_cpp.js` file form [here](https://github.com/aminya/setup-cpp/releases/download/v0.1/setup_cpp.js), and run it with the available options.
```
node ./setup_cpp.js --compiler llvm --cmake true --ninja true --ccache true --conan "1.40.1"
```
## Inside GitHub Actions
Here is a complete cross-platform example that tests llvm and gcc. It also uses cmake, ninja, conan, cppcheck, and ccache.
`.github/workflows/ci.yml`:
```yaml
name: ci
on:
pull_request:
push:
branches:
- main
- master
jobs:
Test:
runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}
strategy:
fail-fast: false
matrix:
os:
- windows-2019
- ubuntu-20.04
- macos-10.15
compiler:
- llvm
- gcc
steps:
- name: Setup Cpp
uses: aminya/setup-cpp@v1
with:
compiler: ${{ matrix.compiler }}
cmake: true
ninja: true
conan: true
cppcheck: true
ccache: true
# add any tool that you need here...
```
In the `compiler` entry, you can specify the version after a `-`. For example, `llvm-11`.
For the tools, instead of `true`, which chooses the default version, you can pass a specific version.
### Incomplete
- [ ] msvc. It is implemented, but has bugs. See [this issue](https://github.com/aminya/cpp/issues/1)
- [ ] vcpkg (TODO)
