Add some of the libui libs

Open jlp765 opened this issue 9 years ago • 5 comments

If the various flavours of libui are included in the ui package, then saves others having to try and compile libui from source.

I don't have ability to compile and test all the libs, so have only included 3 I could build.

I have tested the 64 bit libui.dll and 32 bit libui.so (running the examples/controlgallery.nim)

Binaries shouldn't be added to git repositories. You should upload them somewhere else and then add a link in the readme or something like that.

Fair enough.

Is there already some standard collection that can be extended over time, gtk, sdl, iup, ssl, libui, ....

Without these being provided, (maybe less for linux but definitely for windows) it provides a big hurdle to easy use of packages

eg,

two minutes to nimble the package, half a day to muck around, downloading cmake (if you don't have it on windows which you probably won't and work out how to use it), ......

Please add somewhere to get the binaries.

I really don't want to spend half a day trying to compile it on windows. Nor do I want to install all of visual studio... A link to somewhere to download them and how to use them would be amazing.

Yes, consider it done.

I wonder if it could be possible to use conan to fetch those binaries and also get the headers with nimble. https://bintray.com/beta/#/bincrafters/public-conan/libui:bincrafters?tab=overview something like: conan install libui/0.4.1@bincrafters/stable --profile windows.profile

could do the trick.
