Introduction

This repo is part of the tutorial found in https://github.com/ActivisionGameScience/ags_conda_recipes.git

It contains two C++ executables, ags_blosc_compress and ags_blosc_decompress, that link against the ags_blosc_wrapper library found in the repo https://github.com/ActivisionGameScience/ags_example_cpp_lib.git.

The purpose is to demonstrate:

• How to manage both in-house and third-party dependencies using conda, and build using cmake

How to build

The conda build recipe is located in https://github.com/ActivisionGameScience/ags_conda_recipes.git. You can use it to build, publish, and install the conda way.

However, you can also build and install this library by hand. Assume that ags_example_cpp_lib is installed in the following location:

/some/path/include/activision_game_science/*.h
/some/path/lib/libags_blosc_wrapper.so

Assume that boost and c-blosc are similarly installed in /some/path. Then you can build and install with the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/ActivisionGameScience/ags_example_cpp_app.git
cd ags_example_cpp_app
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" ../ -DBOOST_ROOT=/some/path -DAGS_EXAMPLE_CPP_LIB_ROOT=/some/path -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/some/path
make
make install

You will now have the following files installed:

/some/path/bin/ags_blosc_compress
/some/path/bin/ags_blosc_decompress
