Installation

Quick and dirty

Optimist is a header-only library that depends only on Eigen (version >= 5.0.1), so the quick and dirty way of installing it is by simply copying the include directory to your project and make sure to have Eigen available however you see fit. Alternatively, you can do things properly and use CMake (version >= 3.14).

CMake

If you are using CMake, you can add the library as a subdirectory in your project.

add_subdirectory(path/to/Optimist)
target_link_libraries(your_target PRIVATE Optimist::Optimist)

If you already have Optimist somewhere on your system, you can use find_package directly.

# Optionally specify a custom path to find content from
list(APPEND CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH "path/to/your/dependencies")
find_package(
  Optimist
  ${YOUR_DESIRED_OPTIMIST_VERSION}
  NO_MODULE
)
 
target_link_libraries(your_target PRIVATE Optimist::Optimist)
