How To Install tclap on Fedora 34
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install tclap on Fedora 34.
What is tclap
tclap is a small, flexible library that provides a simple interface for defining and accessing command line arguments. It was initially inspired by the user friendly CLAP library. The difference is that this library is template-only, so the argument class is type independent. Type independence avoids identical-except-for-type objects, such as IntArg, FloatArg, and StringArg. While the library is not strictly compliant with the GNU or POSIX standards, it is close. tclap is written in ANSI C++ and is meant to be compatible with any standards-compliant C++ compiler. The library is implemented entirely in header files making it easy to use and distribute with other software. tclap is now a mature, stable, and feature rich package. It probably will not see much further development aside from bug fixes and compatibility updates.
