clib(1) Package manager for the C programming language. Installation Expects libcurl to be installed and linkable. With homebrew: $ brew install clib Or MacPorts: $ sudo port selfupdate $ sudo port install clib With git: $ git clone https://github.com/clibs/clib.git /tmp/clib $ cd /tmp/clib $ make install Ubuntu: # install libcurl $ sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev -qq # clone $ git clone https://github.com/clibs/clib.git /tmp/clib && cd /tmp/clib # build $ make # put on path $ sudo make install Fedora: # install libcurl $ sudo dnf install libcurl-devel # clone $ git clone https://github.com/clibs/clib.git /tmp/clib && cd /tmp/clib # build $ make # put on path $ sudo make install Nix: $ nix-env -i clib Or add to your nativeBuildInputs. About Basically the lazy-man's copy/paste promoting smaller C utilities, also serving as a nice way to discover these sort of libraries. From my experience C libraries are scattered all over the web and discovery is relatively poor. The footprint of these libraries is usually quite large and unfocused. The goal of clibs is to provide stand-alone "micro" C libraries for developers to quickly install without coupling to large frameworks. You should use clib(1) to fetch these files for you and check them into your repository, the end-user and contributors should not require having clib(1) installed. This allows clib(1) to fit into any new or existing C workflow without friction. The wiki listing of packages acts as the "registry" and populates the clib-search(1) results.

Install a few dependencies to ./deps: $ clib install clibs/ms clibs/commander Install them to ./src instead: $ clib install clibs/ms clibs/commander -o src When installing libraries from the clibs org you can omit the name: $ clib install ms file hash Install some executables: $ clib install visionmedia/mon visionmedia/every visionmedia/watch clib.json Example of a clib.json explicitly listing the source: { "name": "term", "version": "0.0.1", "repo": "clibs/term", "description": "Terminal ansi escape goodies", "keywords": ["terminal", "term", "tty", "ansi", "escape", "colors", "console"], "license": "MIT", "src": ["src/term.c", "src/term.h"] } Example of a clib.json for an executable: { "name": "mon", "version": "1.1.1", "repo": "visionmedia/mon", "description": "Simple process monitoring", "keywords": ["process", "monitoring", "monitor", "availability"], "license": "MIT", "install": "make install" } See explanation of clib.json for more details. Contributing If you're interested in being part of this initiative let me know and I'll add you to the clibs organization so you can create repos here and contribute to existing ones. If you have any issues, questions or suggestions, please open an issue here. You can also find us on Gitter: https://gitter.im/clibs/clib Also feel free to open a GitHub Discussion here. Before committing to the repository, please run make commit-hook. This installs a commit hook which formats .c and .h files.
