• LTUI v1.1, A cross-platform terminal ui library based on Lua

  2018-11-28

  ltui

  ltui  curses  lua  xmake  ui

  Introduction

  LTUI is a cross-platform terminal ui library based on Lua.

  This framework originated from the requirements of graphical menu configuration in xmake. Similar to the linux kernel’s menuconf to configure the compilation parameters, so using curses and lua to implement a cross-platform character terminal ui library.

  Refer to kconfig-frontends for style rendering. Of course, users can customize different ui styles.

  

  Installation

  $ luarocks install ltui
  

  Build

  We need install the cross-platform build utility xmake first.

  $ xmake

• xmake v2.2.2, We can also manage package dependencies for C/C++

  2018-10-13

  xmake

  xmake  lua  C/C++  Package

  Introduction

  Since my English is not very good, the article uses google translation, if you can’t understand, please understand.

  After more than four months, xmake finally updated the new version v2.2.2 and launched the heavyweight feature: Natively Supported Remote Dependency Package Management.

  This feature, in fact, I have been writing for almost a year, before the initial completion, for the development of this feature and history, interested students can look at the relevant issues: #69.

  The current implementation is as follows, a fully consistent semantic version dependency description:

  

  Fully consistent cross-platform build behavior, one-click xmake compilation:

  

  Complete project description:

  add_requires("tbox 1.6.*", "libpng ~1.16", "zlib")
  
  target("test")
      set_kind("binary")
      add_files("src/*.c")
      add_packages("tbox", "libpng", "zlib")
  

  Let me briefly introduce the background of my function:

  When we write C/C++ programs, the use of third-party dependencies has always been a big problem. Because each build library has different build systems and different code platform support, it can’t be like other high-level languages. Convenient and easy to use package management support.

  Although there are package management tools such as homebrew, vcpkg and so on to solve this problem, there are some limitations, such as:

  1. homebrew does not support iphoneos, android, windows platform
  2. vcpkg does not support semantic version selection, multi-version management
  3. Does not support project management and build

  For the existing cross-platform build tools, there is no built-in package management support. For example, cmake only provides find_package to find system packages. Although it can be used with third-party package management such as vcpkg, I personally feel that it is not very Convenience. This will make other users of the project need to install vcpkg or install the dependent library to the system when compiling. For the pc platform, it is better to use it. For the iphoneos, android and other platforms, the user will toss on the library. It will be a while.

  And xmake’s philosophy is: Consistent maintenance, One-click compilation

  • Consistency of build behavior: Regardless of whether your project has library dependencies or tool dependencies, you only need to execute a xmake command to compile.
  • Consistency of project maintenance: Regardless of whether your project is used on Windows or for Linux, iPhone, or Android, you only need a xmake.lua maintenance project.

  Cmake also needs to generate additional third-party IDE project files, even if cmakelist.txt is the same, but the build and maintenance experience is not guaranteed to be completely consistent for the user. After all, it is limited to such tools as vc/make.
