This is a template to make it easy to get started with BearLibTerminal.
This has been tested on Linux and Windows. MacOS currently is untested.
This program relies on libBearLibTerminal.so so that should be copied into usr/local/lib or another folder indicated by this command: ldconfig -v 2>/dev/null | grep -v ^$'\t'
then you should run sudo ldconfig to complete the installation.
Then the executable should run correctly.
Alternately if your OS has a package for BearLibTerminal, that may work as well.
Once that's done compiling in debug mode with cargo build and release mode with cargo build --release should work.
Install Rust if you haven't already.
You will also need a copy of the precompiled BearLibTerminal.dll and BearLibTerminal.lib. This version is currently tested against 0.15.7 found here.
BearLibTerminal.dll is required to run the program and must be distributed along with the binary.
BearLibTerminal.lib is required to build the program.
Copy both BearLibTerminal.lib and BearLibTerminal.dll to the project root, then building using cargo should work as expected.
Run cargo build --release then copy the exe in ./target/release to the desired location as well as BearLibTerminal.dll and any necessary assets (graphics, sound, etc.).
This was based on another template which had a nice feature that was hard to get working cross-platform and which made deploying on windows a pain. This version attempts to increase compatibility by removing the feature.
