The intention of the `WITH_CXX11ABI` option is to allow the user to control toggle whether to compile against the CXX11ABI in libstdc++ (and whether to download a few specific CXX11ABI compatible mason packages as well). This option is important if you are building binaries (like the node binaries) and you want to support a platform that is older and does not have a recent enough libstdc++ to support the CXX11ABI (like ubuntu:precise, centos6, etc). But this was broken for clang++ builds due to the use of `MAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCXX`. That was preventing the correct flags from being set when using clang++ effectively making the option useless and resulting in the build defaulting to whatever the libstdc++-dev headers default is on the system (which varies per linux distribution based on how libstdc++-dev is packaged). This fixes the problem by ensuring that clang++ builds still support toggling control over this option. Note: clang++ > 3.9 supports targeting both the new CXX11ABI in libstdc++ (with `-D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=1`) and targeting the old one (with `-D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0`).
Mapbox GL Native
A library for embedding interactive, customizable vector maps into native applications on multiple platforms. It takes stylesheets that conform to the Mapbox Style Specification, applies them to vector tiles that conform to the Mapbox Vector Tile Specification, and renders them using OpenGL. Mapbox GL JS is the WebGL-based counterpart, designed for use on the Web.
The Mapbox GL ecosystem
This repository hosts the cross-platform Mapbox GL Native library, plus convenient SDKs for several platforms. The cross-platform library comes with a GLFW-based demo application for Ubuntu Linux and macOS. The SDKs target the usual languages on their respective platforms:
| SDK | Languages | Build status |
|---|---|---|
| Mapbox GL Native | C++14 | |
| Mapbox Maps SDK for Android | Java | |
| Mapbox Maps SDK for iOS | Objective-C or Swift | |
| Mapbox Maps SDK for macOS | Objective-C, Swift, or AppleScript | |
| node-mapbox-gl-native | Node.js | |
| Mapbox Maps SDK for Qt | C++03 |
Additional Mapbox GL Native–based libraries for hybrid applications are developed outside of this repository:
| Toolkit | Android | iOS | Developer |
|---|---|---|---|
| React Native (npm) | ✅ | ✅ | Mapbox |
| Apache Cordova (npm) | ✅ | ✅ | Telerik |
| NativeScript (npm) | ✅ | ✅ | Telerik |
| Xamarin | ✅ | ✅ | Xamarin |
If your platform or hybrid application framework isn’t listed here, consider embedding Mapbox GL JS using the standard Web capabilities on your platform.
