Building

To build this library you'd need a recent version of cmake and your OS specific compiler collection, like gcc, MSVC or AppleClang installed.
Inside project's root directory create the following folder:

cmake_build_release

Open your OS specific command line window and navigate to this new folder and run the following command to configure the project and generate a native build system:

cmake ../

Inside cmake_build_release folder you will now find cmake generated files. To compile the library now, just run:

cmake --build . --config Release

Add Library To Your Project

If you would like to add this library to your cmake project - to the CMakeLists.txt file - make sure that you add the libraries' include directory:

include_directories(${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/path/to/this/library/include)

Then link the library binary file inside your CMakeLists.txt file:

target_link_libraries(... "path/to/this/library/../libls_std_YYYY.MAJOR.MINOR.dll")

Testing

This project contains unit tests to accomplish test coverage.
To run those unit tests you have to adjust TestHelper class by adding your personal test folder path to getTestFolderLocation method.
There you have to adjust location variable based on the operating system you're using.
