liblava is a modern C++ and easy-to-use library for the Vulkan® API

Build and package

The following command will build liblava and publish the Conan package to the local system cache:

conan create . lavablock/stable

Config

It's possible that you need to configure Conan to use your preferred compiler and build settings. For example, to compile a release build with Clang you could use the following config:

include(default)

[settings]
compiler=clang
compiler.version=13
compiler.cppstd=20
build_type=Release

[env]
CC=clang-13
CXX=clang++

Save it as config_clang and create the package:

conan create . lavablock/stable -pr=config_clang

For more profile configuration options, refer to the Conan docs.

Usage

Add a dependency to liblava to your project's conanfile.txt:

[requires]
liblava/0.7.3@lavablock/stable

and install all requirements:

mkdir build
cd build
conan install ..

For more information, refer to Using packages.
