Homebrew integration for mac

[johnhe4]

I am using replxx for an internal tool (which I hope to open source at some point) and am putting together a Tap for homebrew (private for now). Replxx is the only lib I'm using that doesn't have a homebrew formula. Homebrew is the most common way to install open-source libs on a Mac. Would you be interested in working with me to submit a formula for replxx?

I have never contributed a "core" formula but the instructions seem clear: https://docs.brew.sh/Formula-Cookbook

Here is what works in my private tap that can be used (with some modification) as a baseline for a submitted formula:

require "formula"

class Replxx < Formula
  desc "A small, portable GNU readline replacement for Linux, Windows and MacOS which is capable of handling UTF-8 characters. Unlike GNU readline, which is GPL, this library uses a BSD license and can be used in any kind of program."

    mkdir "build" do
      # std_cmake_args already includes build=release, testing=off
      system "cmake", "..", *std_cmake_args
      system "make"
      system "make", "install"
    end
  end
end
