# setup-cpp
Install all the tools required for building and testing C++/C projects.
![Build Status (Github Actions)](https://github.com/aminya/setup-cpp/workflows/CI/badge.svg)
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.
# Features
`setup-cpp` can install all of these tools:
- cmake
- ninja
- llvm
- gcc
- msvc
- vcvarsall
- vcpkg
- meson
- conan
- make
- task
- ccache
- cppcheck
- clangtidy
- clangformat
- doxygen
- gcovr
- opencppcoverage
- kcov
`setup-cpp` can also install the following. These are automatically installed if needed for the above Cpp tools (e.g., python is required for conan).
- python
- choco
- brew
- sevenzip
# Usage
## From Terminal
You should download the executable file or the js file (if 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/v0.9.1), and run it with the available options.
An example that installs llvm, cmake, ninja, ccache, and vcpkg:
```ps1
# windows example (open shell as admin)
curl -LJO "https://github.com/aminya/setup-cpp/releases/download/v0.9.1/setup_cpp_windows.exe"
./setup_cpp_windows --compiler llvm --cmake true --ninja true --ccache true --vcpkg true
RefreshEnv.cmd # reload the environment
```
```ps1
# linux example
wget "https://github.com/aminya/setup-cpp/releases/download/v0.9.1/setup_cpp_linux"
chmod +x setup_cpp_linux
sudo ./setup_cpp_linux --compiler llvm --cmake true --ninja true --ccache true --vcpkg true
source ~/.profile # reload the environment
```
```ps1
# mac example
wget "https://github.com/aminya/setup-cpp/releases/download/v0.9.1/setup_cpp_mac"
chmod +x setup_cpp_mac
sudo ./setup_cpp_mac --compiler llvm --cmake true --ninja true --ccache true --vcpkg true
source ~/.profile # reload the environment
```
NOTE: In the `compiler` entry, you can specify the version after `-` like `llvm-11.0.0`.
For the tools, instead of `true` that chooses the default version, you can pass a specific version.
NOTE: you will not need `sudo` if you are already a root user (e.g., in a GitLab runner).
### With Nodejs
Download the `setup_cpp.js` file form [here](https://github.com/aminya/setup-cpp/releases/download/v0.9.1/setup_cpp.js), and run it with the available options.
On Windows:
Open the shell as admin, download via `curl`, then install
```ps1
# open shell as admin
curl -LJO "https://github.com/aminya/setup-cpp/releases/download/v0.9.1/setup_cpp.js"
node ./setup_cpp.js --compiler llvm --cmake true --ninja true --ccache true --vcpkg true
RefreshEnv.cmd # reload the environment
```
On Linux or Mac:
```ps1
wget "https://github.com/aminya/setup-cpp/releases/download/v0.9.1/setup_cpp.js"
sudo node ./setup_cpp.js --compiler llvm --cmake true --ninja true --ccache true --vcpkg true
source ~/.profile # reload the environment
```
## Inside GitHub Actions
Here is a complete cross-platform example that tests llvm, gcc, and msvc. It also uses cmake, ninja, vcpkg, and cppcheck.
`.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
# you can specify the version after `-` like `llvm-13.0.0`.
include:
- os: "windows-latest"
compiler: "msvc"
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Cache
uses: actions/cache@v2
with:
path: |
~/vcpkg
./build/vcpkg_installed
${{ env.HOME }}/.cache/vcpkg/archives
${{ env.XDG_CACHE_HOME }}/vcpkg/archives
${{ env.LOCALAPPDATA }}\vcpkg\archives
${{ env.APPDATA }}\vcpkg\archives
key: ${{ runner.os }}-${{ matrix.compiler }}-${{ env.BUILD_TYPE }}-${{ hashFiles('**/CMakeLists.txt') }}-${{ hashFiles('./vcpkg.json')}}
restore-keys: |
${{ runner.os }}-${{ env.BUILD_TYPE }}
- name: Setup Cpp
uses: aminya/setup-cpp@v1
with:
compiler: ${{ matrix.compiler }}
vcvarsall: ${{ contains(matrix.os, 'windows') }}
cmake: true
ninja: true
vcpkg: true
cppcheck: true
clangtidy: true # instead of `true`, which chooses the default version, you can pass a specific version.
# ...
```
## Inside Docker
Here is an example for using setup_cpp to make a builder image that has the Cpp tools you need.
```dockerfile
# debian
FROM debian:bullseye
# add setup_cpp
WORKDIR "/"
RUN apt-get update -qq
RUN apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends wget
RUN wget --no-verbose "https://github.com/aminya/setup-cpp/releases/download/v0.9.1/setup_cpp_linux"
RUN chmod +x ./setup_cpp_linux
# install llvm, cmake, ninja, and ccache
RUN ./setup_cpp_linux --compiler llvm --cmake true --ninja true --ccache true
# reload the environment
RUN source ~/.profile
ENTRYPOINT [ "/bin/sh" ]
```
See [this folder](https://github.com/aminya/setup-cpp/tree/master/building/docker), for some dockerfile examples.
If you want to build the ones included, then run:
```ps1
docker build -f ./building/docker/debian.dockerfile -t setup_cpp .
```
Where you should use the path to the dockerfile after `-f`.
After build, run the following to start an interactive shell in your container
```ps1
docker run -it setup_cpp
```
## Inside Docker inside GitHub Actions
You can use the docker file discussed in the previous section inside GitHub Actions like the following:
```yaml
jobs:
Docker:
runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}
strategy:
matrix:
os:
- ubuntu-20.04
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Build
id: docker_build
run: |
docker build -f ./building/docker/debian.dockerfile -t setup_cpp .
env:
ACTIONS_ALLOW_UNSECURE_COMMANDS: true
```
## Inside GitLab pipelines
The following gives an example for setting up a C++ environment inside GitLab pipelines.
.gitlab-ci.yaml
```yaml
image: ubuntu:latest
stages:
- test
.setup_linux: &setup_linux |
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
# set time-zone
TZ=Canada/Pacific
ln -snf /usr/share/zoneinfo/$TZ /etc/localtime && echo $TZ > /etc/timezone
# for downloading
apt-get update -qq
apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends curl gnupg ca-certificates

source ~/.profile
