Basic template.

[PsiACE]

This PR provides a basic project skeleton with the following features:

• Meson Build System: Cross platform, easy to use, widely used in projects such as libfuse and libinput
• Github Workflow:
  • Provide automatic build for mainstream platform.
  • Simple release function, only need git tag v0.1.0 etc.

This skeleton is based on psiace/meco template and has been adapted. The usage method has been put in the readme file, have a good time.

[PsiACE]

The purpose of providing this template is only to standardize the development process and provide assistance to some extent. I've verified on Linux that it's available.

When install:

Installing meson-out/libcasbin.so.0.1.0 to /usr/local/lib64
Installing casbin-cpp/include/casbin.h to /usr/local/include/casbin
Installing casbin-cpp/build/meson-private/casbin.pc to /usr/local/lib64/pkgconfig

@hsluoyz What do you think of it?

[hsluoyz]

I prefer makefile & Visual Studio project files instead of meson or CMake. And it's too early to setup GitHub workflow.

[PsiACE]

I must admit that your choice is reasonable, but I think a unified build system can help project maintainers focus, and workflows can help you identify problems early.

Of course, everything is up to you.

Also, I noticed that @xcaptain has shown a preference for cross-platform build tools in other people's pr.

[hsluoyz]

Please give me a pointer?

@xcaptain are you willing to be the GSoC mentor for this idea (project) if we have slot?

PS: I'm asking this because the mentor is responsible for this project and he has the rights to make rules about how to contribute.

[xcaptain]

@hsluoyz I'm interested in this project and would like to contribute but I think I'm not capable enough as the mentor. Currently, I found a lot of people trying to contribute including @romitkarmakar @divypatel9881 @PsiACE how about we work separately for some time and choose the first and best implementation as the official C++ version.

[PsiACE]

Glad to participate, the only regret is that I lack a Windows environment. (Of course, this is why I usually prefer cross-platform tools and early continuous integration)

[hsluoyz]

@xcaptain OK. I have made some commits. I think we can start from it.

@PsiACE You can add makefile to make the current enforcer code compile. Use macro to disable some Windows-specific things like header files.

[PsiACE]

Ok, Iet me try. But maybe later.
