Functionality

Build hwinfo

Requirements: git, cmake, c++ compiler (gcc, clang, MSVC)

1. Download repository:

   git clone https://github.com/lfreist/hwinfo
   

2. Build using cmake:

   mkdir build
   cd build
   cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. && make -j $(nproc)
   

Example

See example.cpp

Include hwinfo in your cmake project

1. Download hwinfo into your project (e.g. in <project-root>/third_party/hwinfo)

   mkdir third_party
   cd third_party
   git clone https://github.com/lfreist/hwinfo
   

2. Simply add the following to your <project-root>/CMakeLists.txt file:

   # file: <project-root>/CMakeLists.txt
   
   add_subdirectory(third_party/hwinfo)
   include_directories(third_party/hwinfo/include)
   

3. Include hwinfo into your .cpp/.h files:

   // file: your_benchmarks.cpp
   
   #include "hwinfo/hwinfo.h"
   

4. Link it in cmake

   add_executable(your_executable your_executable.cpp)
   target_link_libraries(your_executable PUBLIC hwinfo::HWinfo)
