kmpkg add

Synopsis​

kmpkg add port [options] <port-name>...

Description​

The kmpkg add port command allows you to update the kmpkg.json manifest file by adding new package dependencies to your C++ project.

You can specify one or multiple port names to add. It's also possible to define specific features of a port that you would like to include as a dependency. The manifest (kmpkg.json) will then be updated to reflect these changes.

Examples​

Sample manifest:

{
  "name": "Example",
  "version": "1.0"
}

To add ports - fmt, sqlitecpp, zlib:

kmpkg add port fmt sqlitecpp zlib
{
  "name": "Example",
  "version": "1.0",
  "dependencies": [
    "fmt",
    "zlib",
    "sqlitecpp"
  ]
}

To specify port with feature - sqlitecpp[sqlcipher]

kmpkg add port sqlitecpp[sqlcipher]
{
  "name": "Example",
  "version": "1.0",
  "dependencies": [
    "fmt",
    {
      "name": "sqlitecpp",
      "features": [
        "sqlcipher"
      ]
    },
    "zlib"
  ]
}
info

The kmpkg add port command does not validate the existence of specified features for a port. Ensure that the feature exists before adding it to the manifest.

Options​

All kmpkg commands support a set of common options.

port​

kmpkg add port <port-name>... adds the specified ports to the manifest if it's not already present.
