There are no library dependencies, but this project uses many C++11 features so you need to use a relatively recent compiler in C++11 mode (not just to build Fruit itself, also to build any code that uses Fruit). The supported compiler/STL/OS combinations are:
- GCC 4.8.3 or later on Linux and OS X
- Clang 3.5 or later using stdlibc++ (GCC's STL) on Linux
- Clang 3.5 or later using libc++ on Linux and OS X
That said, any C++11-compliant compiler should work on any platform.
Compilers known not to work due to a lacking C++11 support and/or compiler bugs:
If you find any other compiler/platform where Fruit doesn't work, feel free to contact me and I can take a look.
Prebuilt packages for Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian and various other distributions are available. These packages are built using GCC, and they won't work if you want to compile your project with Clang or other compilers. In that case, see the section below on how to compile Fruit manually.
After following the instructions there, to install the headers (necessary to compile programs that use Fruit):
- For Fedora, openSUSE, RHEL, CentOS, SLE: install the
libfruit-devel
package. - For *Ubuntu, Debian: install the
fruit-dev
package. - For Arch: nothing to do, the headers are already installed.
I will write packages or build files for other distributions on request. Or if you write one, please send it to me and I will publish it here.
In most cases you can (and should) use the prebuilt packages instead, see the previous section.
For building Fruit, you'll need to have cmake
and make
installed, together with a recent version of GCC/Clang (see above).
First, get the code from Github: https://github.com/google/fruit/releases
To configure and build:
cmake . && make -j
To install (under Linux uses /usr/local
):
sudo make install
To configure for installation in a specific directory, e.g. /usr
:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr . && make -j
The above instructions are the simplest to get started, but out-of-source builds are also supported.
Since Fruit 2.0.0, building with Bazel is also supported.
