A C boilerplate project to build a C based library.
- C compiler (Clang or GCC)
- GNU Make (for compilation only)
Clone the project:
$ git clone https://github.com/cwchentw/c-boilerplate-library.git mylib
Move your working directory to the root of mylib:
$ cd mylib
Modify the header and the source as needed. You may add and remove C source files (.c) as well.
Compile the project to a dynamic library:
$ make
Alternatively, compile the project to a static library:
$ make static
Set your own remote repository:
$ git remote set-url origin https://example.com/user/project.git
Push your modification to your own repo:
$ git push
Here are the parameters in Makefile:
- LIBRARY: the name of the compiled library, including lib the prefix
- C_STD: the C standard as a GCC C dialect
The project assumes a Unix console environment. Windows users can install MSYS2 to obtain a decent Unix environment.
Because seldom Visual C++ users compile programs with Make, we don't include the compiler in the project.
