Setup

Requirement

The cpp sub-project use vcpkg's manifest mode. Please install the vcpkg on your system and set the VCPKG_ROOT environment variable to the path of your vcpkg installation.

Configuration

To install the required packages and configure the project, run the following commands in your terminal:

# Go into the GeoSharPlusCPP directory
cd GeoSharPlusCPP

# Install the required packages	
vcpkg install

# Cmake configure
cmake -B build .

After running the above commands, you should see a generated folder inside root folder of this project:

- GeoSharPlus/  
 ├── GeoSharPlusCPP/  
 ├── GeoSharPlusNET/  
 ├── GSPdemoGH/        <--- demo GH project
 ├── GSPdemoConsole/   <--- demo Console project
 ├── cppPrebuild/      <--- collective location for the cpp lib (`.dll` (Windows) or `.dylib` (MacOS))
 └── generated/        <--- generated `.h` and `.cs` for the `flatbuffers` lib

Library Demo

Now you can open the GSP.DEMO.sln solution file in Visual Studio and build the project.

Integration into another Project

The most important two folders are GeoSharPlusCPP and GeoSharPlusNET.

Required steps:

Copy the above two mentioned folders into your own project, and do:

1. Modify the CMakeList.txt file in the GeoSharPlusCPP folder to add:
   • any cpp lib that you want to use;
   • any additional pre-compilation process you want to integrate;
2. Conduct the processes described in the Setup section.

Additional steps:

In your Grasshopper or Rhino plugin project, you need to add the two sub-projects:

• Right-click your main project -> Add -> Project Reference... -> Select the GeoSharPlusNET project;
• Check the prebuild.ps1 and postbuild.ps1 scripts in the GSPdemoGH folder for additional build event and copy to your project.

Used by:

This library is trusted by these notable projects:

• BeingAliveLanguage - A Grasshopper plugin to create computational diagrams for living systems.
• IG-Mesh - An one-stop solution for mesh processing in Grasshopper (for Rhino).
