Minimal cmake-based fork of http://libb64.sourceforge.net/

libb64

My own fork of http://libb64.sourceforge.net/

This library is a stripped-down version of the original libb64.

The build system is CMake (3.1+ only) and the only target being built is the libb64 static library. Code examples has been removed. If you really need them, you can still find them in the original repository.

How to build

Let's assume you have a target foo and you want to link libb64 to it.

1. Copy the whole repository in the root folder of your CMake-based project

2. Add the command add_subdirectory(libb64) to your root CMakeLists.txt, before you define your target foo.

3. Update the CMakeLists.txt file where you define foo with the following lines:

include_directories(${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/libb64/include)

add_executable(foo foo.cpp)    # you already have either this or add_library() if foo is a library

# Define the buffer size for libb64 (MANDATORY!)
# A larger size should be faster, but takes more runtime memory
# Example sizes: 4096, or 65536 or 16777216
target_compile_definitions(foo PRIVATE BUFFERSIZE=16777216)
