🔨 Building from source

🏡 Building locally

Prerequisites (versions are recommendations):

• clang and clang++ 6.0.1 or gcc and g++ 7.2
• CMake 3.5.1+ and (preferably) Ninja
• LLVM 7
• Python 3.5.2+ for testing

Steps:

1. Clone Emojicode (or download the source code and extract it) and navigate into it:

   git clone https://github.com/emojicode/emojicode
   cd emojicode
   

2. Create a build directory and run CMake in it:

   mkdir build
   cd build
   cmake .. -GNinja
   

   You can of course also run CMake in another directory or use another build system than Ninja. Refer to the CMake documentation for more information.

3. Build the Compiler and Packages:

   ninja
   

4. You can now test Emojicode:

   ninja tests
   

5. The binaries are ready for use! You can the perform a magic installation right away

   ninja magicinstall
   

   or just package the binaries and headers properly

   ninja dist
   

   To create a distribution archive you must call the dist script yourself (e.g. python3 ../dist.py .. archive).

🐋 Building using Docker

A Dockerfile is available for building in a Ubuntu 18.04 environment.

Steps:

1. Clone Emojicode (or download the source code and extract it) and navigate into it:

   git clone https://github.com/emojicode/emojicode
   cd emojicode
   

2. Build Docker image:

   docker build -t emojicode-build -f docker/clang .
   

3. Verify the installation was fine and tests pass:

   docker run --rm emojicode-build
   ...
   ✅ ✅  All tests passed.
   

4. Start image (and mount a directory to it):

   docker run --rm -v $(pwd)/code:/workspace -it emojicode-build /bin/bash
   

5. Start coding!

   emojicodec /workspace/hello.🍇 && ./workspace/hello
