An implementation of i3 IPC in C++11.

Requirements

• cmake (>= 3.0)
• C++11 compiler

Using

Yet the only way of using is to add this repo as a submodule

git submodule add https://github.com/drmgc/i3ipcpp.git ./i3ipc++/

Then just type this in your CMakeLists.txt:

...
add_subdirectory(i3ipc++)

include_directories(${I3IPCpp_INCLUDE_DIRS})
link_directories(${I3IPCpp_LIBRARY_DIRS})
...

And then just link:

...
target_link_libraries(someapp ${I3IPCpp_LIBRARIES})
...

It is written according to the current specification, so some of new features in IPC can be not-implemented. If there is some of them, please notice at issues page.
