## Project Setup Instructions
### Prerequisites:
This project requires bash and a C++20 compiler.
The project setup requires wget or curl, gzip, and tar.
**For people using other shells than bash:** You need to at least have bash
installed to use the scripts, but using it as your shell while working on
this project also allows you to use the provided aliases.
If you dont want to use bash as your shell, not even temporarily for this
project, you can use the scripts by running them from the project's base
directory and run any generated executables with `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` set to
point to `bin/lib`.
### Setup
- `git clone` this repository
- if using bash:
- `source` the file `setupenv.bashrc` from the project's base directory
to load the provided shell environment
- `setup_project`
- if not using bash or not using the provided environment:
- `cd` to the project's base directory
- `scripts/setup_project.sh`
This will download the following dependenceis:
- [tiny-utf8](https://github.com/DuffsDevice/tiny-utf8)
### Building
To build the project, just use the `build` alias or invoke the `build.sh`
script from the project's base directory.
`build` and `build.sh` accept the environment variables `CXX` and `CXXFLAGS`.
`CXXFLAGS` must at least specify the C++ version.
To clean out the build or dependency directories, use `clean` and
`clean_dependencies` or their corresponding scripts respectively.
`setup_project` will clean out both before doing its thing.
