GSLIB Setup CLI

GSLIB Setup CLI is a Windows-focused Node.js command line tool for creating Visual Studio C++ projects configured for GSLIB.

It generates a .sln, .vcxproj, .vcxproj.filters, src/main.cpp, and .gitignore directly. Generated projects target Visual Studio / Win32 and use the PlatformToolset detected from the local Visual Studio installation.

Installation

Install from npm:

npm install -g @ciellllllllll/setup

After installation, the global command is:

Setup

Main Commands

Find

Find and save the GSLIB path and Visual Studio toolset configuration:

Setup --find
Setup --find "C:\Libraries\gslib_2021"

You can also choose a specific toolset or profile:

Setup --find "C:\Libraries\gslib_2021" --toolset v142
Setup --find "C:\Libraries\gslib_2021" --as gslib2021

Setup

Create a GSLIB project in the current directory:

Setup
Setup "MyGame"
Setup --name "MyGame"

Without a name, the solution directory uses the default date-based name, and the project name is GSLIB_Project.

Uninstall

Uninstall the CLI and remove saved Setup configuration:

Setup --uninstall
Setup uninstall
Setup --uninstall --force

To uninstall while keeping the saved configuration:

Setup --uninstall --keep-config

Help

Show all available commands and options:

Setup --help

Use Setup --help to view additional commands such as profile management, toolset switching, config display, version output, and update checks.

Update

Check npm for a newer Setup version immediately:

Setup update
Setup update --force

This only shows the install command when an update is available. It does not update automatically.

JSON Configuration

Setup stores its configuration as JSON. It does not use SQLite or a custom server.

The configuration file is stored at:

%USERPROFILE%\.gslib-setup\config.json

The update-check state is stored separately at:

%USERPROFILE%\.gslib-setup\update-check.json

You can display the active JSON configuration with:

Setup --config

To print only the config file path:

Setup --config-path
