xmake packages for some package managers

PYPI

WIP

Refer xmake-python.

Python Wheels

List some related wheels which provide binary programs.

Build Systems

• cmake-python-distributions
• ninja-python-distributions

Linters

• cppcheck-wheel

Formatters

• astyle-wheel
• clang-format-wheel

Misc

• patchelf-pypi: used by cibuildwheel
• nodejs-wheel

npmjs.org

We publish xmake to npm for convenience of building nodejs module by xmake.

Compared to other solutions:

• node-gyp: builtin build system of nodejs. However, it depends on python, which is too large. and gyp doesn't support Cygwin/Msys2/MinGW until now, which means you cannot build nodejs module for mingw-w64-nodejs.
• cmake-js: CMake have a good ecosystem. even for nodejs module. However, it needs extra settings to build nodejs module for mingw-w64-nodejs.
• zig-build: a new build system for nodejs module. It uses zig cc as compiler, not your OS's. notice its caveats.

examples:

• 1_hello_world: use this project to replace node-gyp
• coc-rime: use pkg-prebuilds to replace prebuildify

luarocks.org

Refer luarocks-build-xmake.

Notice luarocks.org doesn't host binary rock files. so if you add xmake to build-dependencies, you still have to tolerate troublesome of building xmake.
