Usage example for the TOML-Fortran library

Use this template.

• the TOML Fortran project
• the meson build system

Getting Started

Create a new meson project and include toml-f either as git-submodule in your subprojects directory or create a wrap file to fetch it from upstream:

[wrap-git]
directory = toml-f
url = https://github.com/toml-f/toml-f
revision = head

To load the project the necessary boilerplate code for subprojects is just

tomlf_prj = subproject(
  'toml-f',
  version: '>=0.2',
  default_options: [
    'default_library=static',
  ],
)
tomlf_dep = tomlf_prj.get_variable('tomlf_dep')

Now you can add tomlf_dep to your dependencies and access the public API by the tomlf module.

We recommend to set the default library type of toml-f to static when linking your applications or library against it. Note for library type both and shared toml-f will install itself along with your project.

For more fine-tuned control you can access:

• the library target with tomlf_lib
• the private include dir of this target, containing the Fortran module files, with tomlf_inc
• the license files of toml-f with tomlf_lic

If you are linking your application statically against toml-f and still want to distribute the license files of toml-f (thank you), just use

install_data(
  tomlf_prj.get_variable('tomlf_lic'),
  install_dir: get_option('datadir')/'licenses'/meson.project_name()/'toml-f',
)
