raylib and cabin

[Heus-Sueh]

Can I just add raylib to the dependency list and start using it?

Because I tried to do this and the project fails to build

[dependencies]
"raysan5/raylib" = { git = "https://github.com/raysan5/raylib.git", tag = 5.5 }

#include <iostream>
#include "raylib.h"

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Program main entry point
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
int main() {
    // Initialization
    //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    const int screenWidth = 800;
    const int screenHeight = 450;

    InitWindow(screenWidth, screenHeight, "raylib [core] example - basic window");

    SetTargetFPS(60);               // Set our game to run at 60 frames-per-second
    //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    // Main game loop
    while (!WindowShouldClose())    // Detect window close button or ESC key
    {
        // Update
        //----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        // TODO: Update your variables here
        //----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        // Draw
        //----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        BeginDrawing();

            ClearBackground(RAYWHITE);

            DrawText("Congrats! You created your first window!", 190, 200, 20, LIGHTGRAY);

        EndDrawing();
        //----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    }

    // De-Initialization
    //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    CloseWindow();        // Close window and OpenGL context
    //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    return 0;
}

Is it a header-only library?

[Heus-Sueh]

https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/tree/master

I don't think so, but I'm not sure

[Heus-Sueh]

How about adding these links to the README?

https://github.com/topics/single-header
https://github.com/topics/header-only
https://github.com/p-ranav/awesome-hpp

[ken-matsui]

The header file should be in the project root or the include directory to be included via Cabin.

I don’t understand why you want to add the links. Can you elaborate?

It would be for those looking for libs that "work" with cabin, not all of them have the header in the root, some have the include folder and others don't.

I think there’s a md file in docs/ that is suitable for such information. Can you take a look and make a PR?

We can mention that we need headers in the root or include/ and then the links.

put this information in usage.md in the dependencies section?

https://github.com/cabinpkg/cabin/blob/main/docs/usage.md#install-dependencies

[ken-matsui]

I think that makes sense. We have a warning at the bottom of this section, but it’s not that visible, so we may want to move this up and add the info.
