The CMake install exports RandLib::RandLib. In addition to direct CMake consumption, the source tree contains locally testable vcpkg and Conan packages.

vcpkg overlay

The overlay intentionally packages the current checkout, which keeps pre-release validation independent of a published archive:

vcpkg install randlib --overlay-ports=packaging/vcpkg

The upstream vcpkg submission will replace the local source path with the final release archive and its SHA-512 checksum.

Conan 2

conan profile detect --force

conan create . --build=missing

The recipe is a platform-independent header package and the test_package/ consumer verifies the generated RandLib::RandLib CMake target.

Single header

Generate the release artifact deterministically from the public umbrella header:

python3 tools/amalgamate.py --output randlib_single.hpp

The generator recursively expands internal randlib/... includes, preserves standard-library includes and preprocessor conditions, and emits each project header once. Tagged v2 releases compile the result, attach it to the GitHub Release, and publish a SHA-256 checksum.
