core8 is a CHIP8 emulator that offers a Qt GUI to run CHIP8 binaries.
Make sure to clone the repository with its submodules. One way to do this is as follows:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/benvenutti/core8.git
The building process of core8 is managed by CMake scripts. The following list enumerates all dependencies and requirements to build the project:
- C++14 compiler
- CMake 3.8
- Qt 5.10
- Libboost 1.54
- Catch 2
It is recommended to configure the build out-of-source, so that the source tree and the build tree are separated. The most usual way to achieve this is to create a build directory inside the source directory:
core8$ mkdir build && cd build
core8/build$ cmake ..
core8/build$ cmake --build .
To run the available tests after a successful build, you need to execute the test target. One way of doing this is using ctest the build folder. Here is an example:
core8/build$ ctest .
