This project is a small example on how to use jpm to build a standalone executable that depends on third-party modules. It's really simple (if everything works), but a lot goes on under the hood so this is very much a WIP feature.
First, make sure you have the latest Janet from git installed -- it should be at least version 1.2.0-dev-. Any version after this should also work. You will also need a C compiler on your path, which means on windows cmd.exe, you should be in a developer command prompt or have run vcvars64.bat. You will also need git installed and on your path to download dependencies (this includes windows! Git Bash should work).
First, we need to install all of the projects Janet and C dependencies. Go into the source directory and run
sudo jpm deps(using sudo as needed - this installs dependencies into the (dyn :syspath)). This
should use git to download circlet, then build
and install the module files. This installs both circlet.so, which is the native module
that is loaded when you run (import circlet), as well as circlet.a, which is what will
be linked into the final executable.
Once dependencies have been installed, we need to build the executable. This should be fairly quick.
jpm build(No sudo is needed here). This should output an executable file in
build/lserve (build/lserve.exe on windows).
To test that everything worked correctly, try running the server with
build/lserve
