wcasanova / cppfetch

A neofetch-esque program written in CPP. This project is being used as a method of learning CPP.

cppfetch

I decided to learn CPP, and I'm using this project as way to actively learn it.

I decided an information gathering program because I'm already accustomed to making
such programs in other languages.

Building

Dependencies:

• xmake
• libmpdclient*

*(Should automatically be installed/compiled with xmake when the music option is enabled.
However if you find it doesn't install, open an issue with the message with the
output of xmake and then try installing libmpdclient from a package manager
(though I'm usually really responsive so I'll probably have it fixed up for you before you have to).)

git clone https://github.com/Phate6660/cppfetch
cd cppfetch
xmake # or `xmake f --music=y -v && xmake -v` if you want to enable music info

(Use xmake -rv after the && to have xmake rebuild everything.
It's only needed if you previously built cppfetch with/without music and want the opposite.)

You may also statically build the program with ./build-static.
It only requires g++ and strip (which you should already have if you're building programs :D).
However, building with music support only works if you built libmpdclient as a static lib.
If you have done that and want music support, then run ./build-static true.

Example output

xmake run or xmake run cppfetch l (if you want the logo to be displayed too)
