openE57 is a forked version of the original LibE57 (http://www.libe57.org) project, with the intent to refine and optimize the source code in a modern C++ idiomatic way and remove unnecessary dependencies (e.g. Boost) in favour of the C++ Standard Library.

The library is compiled as C++17, since some of following language intrinsics and libraries are used:

constexpr values
enum classes
filesystem (replaces boost::filesystem)
thread (replaces boost::thread)
memory (replaces boost::shared_ptr and std::auto_ptr)

Requirements

You need the following tools to build this library:

A C++17 compiler (MSVC 2017+, gcc 7+, clang 7+)
A recent version of CMake (3.15+)
A recent version of conan (1.25+)

How to build it

On Linux:

git clone https://github.com/madduci/openE57.git
cd open57
mkdir -p build/linux && cd build/linux
conan install ../.. --build=missing
cmake ../.. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build .
cmake --install .

On Windows:

git clone https://github.com/madduci/openE57.git
cd open57
md build\windows && cd build\windows
conan install ..\.. --build=missing
cmake ..\.. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build . --config Release
cmake --install . --config Release

Available CMake options (but disabled by default) are the following onews:

BUILD_EXAMPLES
BUILD_TOOLS
BUILD_TESTS
BUILD_WITH_MT (MSVC Only)
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS (Not supported at the moment - no symbol is exported yet)

The dependencies are now managed with conan and integrated in CMake, without the need of compiling the required libraries by yourself.
