Installing cppformat using homebrew (macos)

[ortho]

Now. It's possible to install your library using homebrew

brew install cppformat

It will be great to describe this possibility in documentation.

Thanks you for the library!

Thanks for adding support for C++ Format to Homebrew, much appreciated! I've added a small section to Usage. Please let me know if you want to add or change anything there.

@ortho @vitaut I did brew install fmt as described in the usage section, but I still had to add the library path "/usr/local/Cellar/fmt/4.0.0/lib/libfmt.a" to my compile command.

I was wondering if this is normal?

[vitaut]

As far as I can see brew install fmt creates a symlink in /usr/local/lib:

lrwxr-xr-x  1 viz  staff  32 Oct  8 14:24 /usr/local/lib/libfmt.a -> ../Cellar/fmt/4.0.0/lib/libfmt.a

Since this directory is on the library search path, you can just do

$ c++ -lfmt ...

You are right. I didn't notice it. Thanks for taking a look.
