Manbrew

Manage manually installed (C++) libraries (for cmake) along with Homebrew in OSX.
I write this in case of

• Install some self-writen libraries, which are still in develop mode.
• Homebrew does not have the Formula and do not want to make a Formula or Tap.
• Homebrew Formula does not have the desired options and do not want to modify Formula.
• Do not want to sudomake install anything.
• Want Homebrew style clean symbol link management.

Install

Dependencies

Python 3.6+

Download

Clone the repository to wherever you like, e.g:

git clone https://github.com/KuangyeChen/manbrew.git ~/.Manbrew

Link the {manbrew_install_path}/manbrew to wherever under your PATH, e.g:

ln -s ~/.Manbrew/manbrew /usr/local/bin/manbrew

Usage

Build the library from source with install prefix set to {manbrew_install_path}/Containers/{library_name} e.g:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`manbrew root`/containers/opencv ..

Then manbrew link {library_name}, e.g:

manbrew link opencv

All done.
