Including this library in your project

Using in a cmake project

Integration with our library is very simple if you are using cmake. Your basic CMakeLists.txt file should look something like this:

project(your_project_name)
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.12)

set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-O3 -Wall -fopenmp -DNDEBUG") # modify flags appropriately for your project

add_subdirectory(${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/path/to/medusa/ medusa) # add our library's CMakeLists.txt as a subfolder
include_directories(${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/path/to/medusa/include/)  # include medusa headers directory

# define your own executables below
add_executable(my_name my_name.cpp)
target_link_libraries(my_name medusa)  # link to our library

Next to the CMakeLists.txt file, you should put your source file my_name.cpp, which can now use the Medusa library. Sample contents of the file are shown below:

#include <medusa/Medusa.hpp>
#include <iostream>

using namespace mm;

int main() {
    BoxShape<Vec2d> box(0, 1);
    std::cout << box << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

The code is then compiled by going to your build directory and writing make my_name.

Standalone usage

By running make medusa_standalone in the medusa/build directory, the static archive medusa/bin/libmedusa_standalone.a is created. In you project, you have to include the medusa headers medusa/include and link the medusa_standalone library.

<sytnaxhighlight lang="bash"> g++ -o my_program my_program.cpp -I /.../medusa/include -L /.../medusa/bin/ -lmedusa_standalone </syntaxhighlight>
