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 don’t 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

Building

To build the project, just use the build alias or invoke scripts/build.sh from the project's base directory.

For more details, have a look at the build system documentation.
