pkg-config is software development tool that queries information about libraries from a local, file-based database for the purpose of building a codebase that depends on them. . It allows for sharing a codebase in a cross-platform way by using host-specific library information that is stored outside of yet referenced by the codeba
CMake supports building executables, libraries (e.g. libxyz, xyz.dll etc.), object file libraries and pseudo-targets (including aliases). CMake can produce object files that can be linked against by executable binaries/libraries, avoiding dynamic (run-time) linking and using static (compile-time) linking instead.
A software build is the process of converting source code files into standalone software artifact(s) that can be run on a computer, or the result of doing so. [1]In software production, builds optimize software for performance and distribution, packaging into formats such as '.exe'; '.deb'; '.apk'.
The Windows Package Manager (also known as winget) is a free and open-source package manager designed by Microsoft for Windows 10 and Windows 11.It consists of a command-line utility and a set of services for installing applications.
Many systems come with predefined Make rules and macros to specify common tasks such as compilation based on file suffix. This lets users omit the actual (often unportable) instructions of how to generate the target from the source(s). On such a system the makefile above could be modified as follows:
vcpkg provides access to C and C++ libraries to its supported platforms. The command-line utility is currently available on Windows, macOS and Linux. [2]vcpkg was first announced at CppCon 2016.
In the C and C++ programming languages, unistd.h is the name of the header file that provides access to the POSIX operating system API. [1] It is defined by the POSIX.1 standard, the base of the Single Unix Specification, and should therefore be available in any POSIX-compliant operating system and compiler.
In computer programming, a precompiled header (PCH) is a (C or C++) header file that is compiled into an intermediate form that is faster to process for the compiler.Usage of precompiled headers may significantly reduce compilation time, especially when applied to large header files, header files that include many other header files, or header files that are included in many translation units.
