Possible make install rule for cmake ?

Well Crow is a header only library, meaning there isn't anything to compile, you just copy the header file(s) into your project and include it/them.

If I'm getting this completely wrong I apologize and could you please clarify how an install rule could be useful?

[GuacheSuede]

What i do is copy the crow headers into /usr/include manually via cp so that i can be used globally. Would be good to have a make install step that does this automatically

Hmmm, I understand now, I'll look into it when I can (I'm focusing on Documentation at the moment), If you have time and don't mind doing it, feel free to open a PR and I'll merge it.

[GuacheSuede]

Understood.

I have a question. I performed some benchmarks on Crow and realized that it seems after the first initial connection, subsequent responses to requests are retuned very fast. Would you know which part of the code allows this to happen ?

Thanks.

I'm assuming that you're using different routes, this is most likely due to crow having to initialize some ASIO objects that are then being reused, though I'm not sure which objects these are, you can look in http_server.h (do_accept()) and http_connection.h if you'd like to investigate this further.

if you're using the same route on a browser, it's most likely the browser itself caching the result.

Is it fine to write a bash script to automate this process of installation (basically copying to /usr/include) after successful local build? Let me know if it sounds good i will open a PR for that

Why do that when cmake can have a specific install rule?

yes will do that with cmake Install rules; don't know why i had mentioned about bash script.
