xrepo is a cross-platform C/C++ package manager based on Xmake.
It is based on the runtime provided by xmake, but it is a complete and independent package management program. Compared with package managers such as vcpkg/homebrew, xrepo can provide C/C++ packages for more platforms and architectures at the same time.
And it also supports multi-version semantic selection. In addition, it is also a decentralized distributed repository. It not only provides the official xmake-repo repository, It also supports users to build multiple private repositorys.
At the same time, xrepo also supports installing packages from third-party package managers such as vcpkg/homebrew/conan, and provides unified and consistent library link information to facilitate integration and docking with third-party projects.
If you want to know more, please refer to: Documents, Github and Gitee
We only need install xmake to use the xrepo command. About the installation of xmake, we can see: Xmake Installation Document.
- Windows (x86, x64)
- macOS (i386, x86_64, arm64)
- Linux (i386, x86_64, cross-toolchains ..)
- *BSD (i386, x86_64)
- Android (x86, x86_64, armeabi, armeabi-v7a, arm64-v8a)
- iOS (armv7, armv7s, arm64, i386, x86_64)
- MSYS (i386, x86_64)
- MinGW (i386, x86_64, arm, arm64)
- Cross Toolchains
In addition to directly retrieving the installation package from the official repository: xmake-repo.
We can also add any number of self-built repositories, and even completely isolate the external network, and only maintain the installation and integration of private packages on the company's internal network.
Just use the following command to add your own repository address:
$ xrepo add-repo myrepo https://github.com/mygroup/myrepoadd_requires("tbox >1.6.1", "libuv master", "vcpkg::ffmpeg", "brew::pcre2/libpcre2-8")
add_requires("conan::openssl/1.1.1g", {alias = "openssl", optional = true, debug = true})
target("test")
set_kind("binary")
add_files("src/*.c")
add_packages("tbox", "libuv", "vcpkg::ffmpeg", "brew::pcre2/libpcre2-8", "openssl")The following is the overall architecture and compilation process integrated with xmake.
We need CMake wrapper for Xrepo C and C++ package manager. xrepo-cmake

$ xrepo export -o /tmp/output zlibYou can also import the previously exported installation package on other machines to implement package migration.
$ xrepo import -i /xxx/packagedir zlib$ xrepo search zlib "pcr*"

$ xrepo search vcpkg::pcre
The package names:
