NuGet Package Creation for PipedProcess

Quick Start

This project now uses modern NuGet packaging instead of the deprecated CoApp toolchain.

Prerequisites

  1. Download NuGet CLI (if not already installed):

    # Download the latest nuget.exe
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://dist.nuget.org/win-x86-commandline/latest/nuget.exe" -OutFile "nuget.exe"

# Or install via Chocolatey
choco install nuget.commandline

# Or install via winget
winget install Microsoft.NuGet

  2. Verify installation:

    nuget help

Package Creation Steps

  1. Build the solution (ensure tests pass):

    .\build.bat

  2. Create the package:

    .\create-package.bat

  3. Package will be created as PipedProcess.2.1.3.nupkg

Package Contents

The generated package includes:

  • Headers in include/PipedProcess/:
    • PipedProcess.h - Main process execution class
    • StdPipe.h - Pipe communication utilities
    • UniqueHandle.h - RAII handle wrapper
  • MSBuild targets for automatic configuration
  • Metadata and documentation

Using the Package

After installing in a C++ project:

#include <PipedProcess/PipedProcess.h>
#include <PipedProcess/StdPipe.h>

// Headers are automatically included via MSBuild targets
// No manual include path configuration needed

Publishing (Optional)

To publish to NuGet.org:

nuget push PipedProcess.2.1.3.nupkg -Source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json -ApiKey YOUR_API_KEY

The new approach uses standard NuGet toolchain that's actively maintained.
