Biicode C/C++ dependency manager

How to build it?

Building it is too easy:

$ git clone git@github.com:pocoproject/poco.git
$ cd poco
$ bii init -l && bii work

It creates all the necessary structure to build POCO C++ with biicode. Then, you could run its default samples:

$ bii build
$ ./bin/any_executable

Run faster using several processors, e.g., using 4 cores:

$ bii build -j4

Note: I recommend Windows OS users to use Visual Studio generator to build POCO project:

$ bii configure -G "Visual Studio 10"
$ bii build -j4
$ ./bin/any_executable

By default, the first use applies all the changes to the repository, if you want to revert these ones, set the BII_POCO_REVERT_CHANGES environment variable to True and run bii work to keep your original code and undo the biicode changes.

$ export BII_POCO_REVERT_CHANGES=True
$ bii work

How to use it in other external projects?

Take a look at any example from examples/poco(develop) block and try your own using POCO C++ develop version with biicode.
