Building the library using Lhelper

Lhelper, the little library's helper is available from here

https://github.com/franko/lhelper

The library can be compiled with the following commands:

lhelper create elem-plot # create a new environment
lhelper activate elem-plot # activate the new environment (new shell)
lhelper install libagg # install the Agg library
lhelper install freetype2 #install freetype library

cd /path/to/elementary-plotlib
meson setup build # configure the library
ninja -C build # build
ninja -C build install # to install

For the install commands above add -pic at the end if you are planning to create a shared library.

For the elementary plot library itself I suggest to compile it as a static library with

meson setup -Ddefault_library=static build

You may add also -Dprefix=/path/to/prefix to choose the install prefix.

If you need FOX toolkit integration install the 'fox' library with lhelper.

If you need Lua integration add the luajit (or lua) and sol2.
