|
### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- Qt 5 or higher
|
|
- lmdb
|
|
- CMake 3.16 or higher
|
|
- Doxygen (optional, for documentation)
|
|
|
|
### Using with CMake
|
|
|
|
#### As a system library
|
|
|
|
If you're using LMDBAL as a system library you probably have no control over it's build options. The easiest way to include the project is to add following
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
find_package(lmdbal)
|
|
if (LMDBAL_FOUND)
|
|
target_include_directories(yourTarget PRIVATE ${LMDBAL_INCLUDE_DIRS})
|
|
target_link_libraries(yourTarget PRIVATE LMDBAL::LMDBAL)
|
|
endif()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### As an embeded subproject
|
|
|
|
If you're using LMDBAL as a embeded library you might want to control it's build options, for example you can run
|
|
```
|
|
set(BUILD_STATIC ON)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
before including the library in your project. This will set the library to be build in a static mode.
|
|
|
|
Then you want to run something like this
|
|
```
|
|
add_subdirectory(pathTo/yourEmbedded/libraries/lmdbal)
|
|
add_library(LMDBAL::LMDBAL ALIAS LMDBAL)
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
target_link_libraries(yourTarget PRIVATE LMDBAL::LMDBAL)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The headers are added as `PUBLIC` so you might not even need to `target_link_libraries` them
|
|
|
|
### Building
|
|
|
|
LMDBAL uses CMake as a build system.
|
|
|
|
Please check the prerequisites and install them before building.
|
|
|
|
Here is an easy way to build a project
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ git clone https://git.macaw.me/blue/lmdbal
|
|
$ cd lmdbal
|
|
$ mkdir build
|
|
$ cd build
|
|
$ cmake .. [ *optional keys* ]
|
|
$ cmake --build .
|
|
$ cmake --install . --prefix install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This way will create you a `lmdbal/build` directory with temporary files, and `lmdbal/build/install` with all the export files for installation to the system.
|
|
|
|
After `cmake ..` you can specify keys to alter the building process. In this context building keys are transfered like so
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cmake .. -D KEY1=VALUE1 -D KEY2=VALUE2 ...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### List of keys
|
|
|
|
Here is the list of keys you can pass to configuration phase of `cmake ..`:
|
|
|
|
- `CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE` - `Debug` just builds showing all warnings, `Release` builds with no warnings and applies optimizations (default is `Debug`);
|
|
- `BUILD_STATIC` - `True` builds project as a static library, `False` builds as dynamic (default is `False`);
|
|
- `BUILD_TESTS` - `True` build unit tests, `False` does not (default is `False`);
|
|
- `BUILD_DOC` - `True` build doxygen documentation, `False` does not (default is `False`);
|
|
- `QT_VERSION_MAJOR` - `5` links against Qt5, `6` links agains Qt6, there is no default, so, if you didn't specify it the project will chose automatically;
|
|
|
|
#### Running tests
|
|
|
|
If you built the library with `-D BUILD_TESTS=True`, then there will be `lmdbal/build/tests/runUnitTests` executable file. You can simply run it as
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./runUnitTests
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
if you're in the same directory with it
