dylib_installer-0.1.1 is not a library.

Dylib Installer

Dylib Installer is a tool for handling dylib directories and generating .pc files. It helps to automate the process of installing dynamic libraries and their associated headers, and it ensures that the required pkg-config files are generated correctly.

Features

Automatically detects and processes .dylib files in a specified directory.
Generates .pc files for use with pkg-config.
Copies library files to the target directory.
Optionally copies header files to the target directory.

Installation

To install Dylib Installer, ensure you have Rust installed on your system. You can install the project from source or using cargo install:

From Source

git clone https://github.com/hackerchai/dylib-installer.git
cd dylib-installer
cargo build --release

The binary will be located in the target/release directory.

Using Cargo Install

cargo install dylib_installer

Or installing with latest head from repository:

cargo install --git https://github.com/hackerchai/dylib-installer

Usage

Dylib Installer requires several arguments to specify the paths and options. Here are the available options:

dylib_installer [OPTIONS] <dylib_path> [HEADERPATH]

Arguments:

<dylib_path> Sets the directory where the dylib files are stored.(required)
[HEADERPATH] Sets the path to store the header files

Options

-n, --name <NAME>: Sets the name of the library. If not provided, it will be inferred from the dylib file name.
-i, --headerpath <HEADERPATH>: Sets the path to store the header files.
-v, --version <VERSION>: Sets the version of the library. Default is "0.1.0".
-c, --description <DESC>: Sets the description of the library. Default is "No description provided".
-p, --pcpath <PCPATH>: Sets the path to store the .pc file. If not provided, it will use the default pkg-config path.
-t, --libpath <LIBPATH>: Sets the target path for the library files. If not provided, it will use the system library path.
-r, --header_target_path <HEADER_TARGET_PATH>: Sets the target path for the header files.
-h, --help: Print help.

Example

Recommend to use sudo to install the library to system path.

In most cases (without specifying headers):
```
sudo dylib_installer /path/to/dylibs
```

If you want to specify full options:

dylib_installer /path/to/dylibs /path/to/headers \
    -n mylibrary \
    -v 0.1.0 \
    -c "My Library Description" \
    -p /path/to/pkgconfig \
    -t /usr/local/lib \
    -r /usr/local/include/mylibrary

If you do not provide a library name, the tool will attempt to infer it from the .dylib file names found in the specified directory. For example, if it finds a file named libfuse.dylib or libfuse.2.1.dylib, it will use fuse as the library name.
