Colorer library

Colorer is a syntax highlighting library.

How to build from source

Main

To build library and other utils from source, you will need:

• Visual Studio 2019 / gcc 7 / clang 7 or higher
• git
• cmake 3.10 or higher

Windows

Download the source of Colorer, for example, in colorer-library:

git clone https://github.com/colorer/Colorer-library.git --recursive colorer-library 

Setup vcpkg

cd colorer-library
./external/vcpkg/bootstrap-vcpkg.bat

Build colorer and dependency, if they are not in the local cache:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -S .. -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../external/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake -DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET=x64-windows-static -DVCPKG_OVERLAY_PORTS=../external/vcpkg-ports -DVCPKG_FEATURE_FLAGS=manifests,versions
colorer.sln

For x86 platform use --triplet=x86-windows-static. Once built, the dependencies will be cached in the local cache.

Linux

You may build library on linux using standard package, without vcpkg.

Ubuntu example

sudo apt install libicu-dev zlib1g-dev libminizip-dev libxml2-dev
git clone https://github.com/colorer/Colorer-library.git
cd Colorer-library
mkdir _build
cmake -S . -B _build -G "Ninja" -DCOLORER_USE_VCPKG=OFF
cmake --build _build -j$(nproc --all)

CentOS Example

sudo yum install libicu-devel zlib-devel minizip1.2-devel
git clone https://github.com/colorer/Colorer-library.git
cd Colorer-library
mkdir _build
cmake -S . -B _build -G "Ninja" -DCOLORER_USE_VCPKG=OFF
cmake --build _build -j$(nproc --all)

MacOS

brew install icu4c minizip ninja libxml2
git clone https://github.com/colorer/Colorer-library.git
cd Colorer-library
mkdir _build
cmake -S . -B _build -G "Ninja" -DCOLORER_USE_VCPKG=OFF
cmake --build _build -j$(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN)
