Medo VS cmake-init-vcpkg-example

To me the most impressive recent example is a video editor developed for Haiku OS [0]. It fits on a 1.44MB floppy disk.

I’ve created a 4k UHD video editor for Haiku OS (https://github.com/smallstepforman/Medo), it’s a C++17 native app, with over 30 OpenGL GLSL effect plugins and addons, multi threaded Actor model, over 10 user languages, and the entire package file fits on a 1.44Mb floppy disk with space to spare. If I was really concerned about space, I could probably replace all .png resources with WebP and save another 200kb.

How is it so small? No external dependancies (uses stock Haiku packages), uses the standard C++ system API, and written by a developer that learned their trade on restrained systems from the 80’s. Look at the old Amiga stuff from that era.

At its core, Linux offers variety, while Haiku strives to be a unified system. There is only one official UI, one sound API, one filesystem, one preference system, etc. making Haiku easier to administer. The system kits are designed to work together.

For instance, I created a from scratch video editor for Haiku which does 4K UHD videos with OpenGL based plugins, with over 30 effects, and 10 languages. The installer package with no dependancies is 1.3Mb (fits on a floppy disk). https://github.com/smallstepforman/Medo Under Linux, I would require many more dependancies since I have so no guarantee what libraries or API the users have installed.

My favourite - BeOS/Haiku Interface Kit (Link to my project with screenshot https://github.com/smallstepforman/Medo).

You can always use both ... example from my project: https://github.com/smallstepforman/Medo

Wait until you try Haiku on the same hardware. I’ve got a 4K video editor with no HW acceleration yet is smoother to edit videos than both OSX and Win10.

https://github.com/smallstepforman/Medo It is for a opensource Media Operating System called Haiku Os, and it is less than 1.44 Mb open source very lightweight:

If your dep is not on any of those, then you can write your own port with vcpkg very easily like this.

Are they only on git(hub)? You can write a vcpkg overlay port (example) or use FetchContent if the projects are FetchContent ready in a way that doesn't force FetchContent on people trying to build the project (example).

Take a look at cmake-init, vcpkg and this example that shows how to pull dependencies from git(hub) using vcpkg's overlay ports.

cs50 doesn't appear to be present in the MS repo. No problem, you can write your own overlay port. You can find an example for that here: https://github.com/friendlyanon/cmake-init-vcpkg-example

You can take a look at vcpkg or Conan. Maybe vcpkg could be simpler here, because overlay ports are simpler to write than setting up Artifactory for Conan.

Conan and vcpkg are the only options. I use them both, depends on what kinds of dependencies I want to pull. vcpkg is easier to setup custom one-off dependencies with using overlay ports, while Conan is faster at things if your profile fits one that has a pre-built binary in CCI. Both are trivial to integrate with a CMake project, see these examples for Conan and vcpkg.

Here is an example that shows you how to write your own ports for libraries that don't have one provided by vcpkg. The alternative is doing it manually, but eh.

As part of the cmake-init examples I also have an example showing vcpkg integration with a CMake project with exact instructions on what that takes, which also involves CI.

Overlay ports.

IMPORTED targets have directory scope, they aren't global like the other target types. Depending on what your project's type is and how it's used, the correct answer can vary from just requiring a path to be passed on the CLI to proper package management usage (e.g. vcpkg)
