What files do I need to include cmakepp without downloading it? #124

Closed sztomi closed 8 years ago

One example shows how to download cmakepp when it is not available, directly from cmake. While that is very neat, I'm concerned about relying on github (and a working internet connection) for a build. Is there a release I can just drop in the project directory?

You can always clone the repo pointing at an specific stable commit, then symlink to it in your project. But I'm with you, having a release tag with a tarball would be great. I don't know if @toeb considers cmakepp stable enough to tag a release.

Hi,

sure you can download a release from the release section on the github page. I have already created a couple. There are compressed files containing the cmake source and a "compiled" version of cmakepp which just puts all functions into a single cmake file of about 1MB size which works standalone.

See https://github.com/toeb/cmakepp/releases

You can generate this single file yourself by cloning the repository cd to the cmakepp repository and typing 

cmake -P cmakepp.cmake cmakepp_compile /path/to/target/file.cmake

This will compile all the functionality of cmakepp into the specified target file
