Packaging is in testing phase and may not work for all projects. Currently you need to have python3, ldd and patchelf installed and also set the environment variable SIBS_SCRIPT_DIR to scripts sub directory which is in sibs root directory (the directory that contains package.py). Currently a script file is generated which should be used to run the project. The name of the script file is the same as project. This script file will most likely to be removed later. Do NOT run the executable called "program". -Because creating a package is currently done by copying gcc/clang libraries and not musl, the distributable package becomes very large; a hello world application extracted from its archive is 6 megabytes... +Because creating a package is currently done by copying c/c++ libraries and precompiled shared libraries on Linux usually depend on gcc runtime libraries which are very large, the distributable package becomes very large; a hello world application extracted from its archive is 6 megabytes... +If you want to reduce the size of your package then you will have to compile your project and each dependency from source with clang/musl (gcc c++ runtime is 14mb while clang c++ runtime is 800kb!). # IDE support Sibs generates a compile_commands.json in the project root directory when executing `sibs build` and tools that support clang completion can be used, such as YouCompleteMe. There are several editors that support YouCompleteMe, including Vim, Emacs and Visual Studio Code. Visual studio code now also supports clang completion with C/C++ extension by Microsoft; the extension will ask you which compile_commands.json file you want to use and you can choose the compile_commands.json in the project root directory. |
