⚙️ Build Instructions

🔧 Build Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following installed and added to your system's PATH:

• CMake ≥ 3.10
• Build system (optional)
  • Ninja
• C++20-compatible compiler
  • g++ ≥ 13.1
  • clang++ ≥ 19
  • XCode ≥ 15

Or you can use Visual Studio with CMake ≥ 16.11 (recommended at least Visual Studio 2022)

---

🛠 Using build script

Default Build (Release)

When run without any parameters, it will try to find the c++ compiler and build system automatically

./build.sh

💡 If using visual studio 16.11.0 - 16.11.13, you have to use the --msvc-legacy option

Show Usage

./build.sh --help

💡 Windows users without Bash:
You can install Bash using Git for Windows (recommended), MSYS2 (also recommended), Cygwin, or WSL.
Then run build.cmd inside Command Prompt or ./build.sh inside the installed terminal

---

🧱 Manual Build

cmake -S . -B build/Release -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build/Release

---

Executables will be placed in: build/Release/bin/

---

When manually building, you will probably want to symlink compile_commands.json to the standard location

ln -sf build/Release/compile_commands.json build/compile_commands.json

---

▶️ Running

• WoodCodeApp.exe: Interactive GUI-style terminal interface
• woodcode.exe: Command-Line Tool
