C Boilerplate for Library

A C boilerplate project to build a C based library.

System Requirements

  • C compiler (Clang or GCC)
  • GNU Make (for compilation only)

Usage

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

Project Configuration

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

Note

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.
