    🔥 A cross-platform build utility based on Lua

  • Ah, I see. That might be Github’s problem, but the link I used is the one at the bottom of the list labeled “Source code”: https://github.com/xmake-io/xmake/releases/tag/v2.6.5

    I see that one you mention in the middle of the list, with the name “xmake-v2.6.5.tar.gz”.

    Please note that this is not a criticism, I’m just telling what can happen when someone tries to compile it.

  • tbox

    🎁 A glib-like multi-platform c library

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • xmake-repo

    📦 An official xmake package repository

  • Yes, although the documentation seems bare-bones, the code looks clean.

    The xmake package repository files might be useful also for people interested in making their own package manager, or even installing by hand.

    Here is the package information for autoconf, for instance:

    https://github.com/xmake-io/xmake-repo/blob/master/packages/...

    It has download links, checksums for specific versions, and the Lua syntax seems easy to parse.

    The package for NanoVG however, does not indicate anywhere that you need the GLEW and GLFW libraries:
