Boojum can be built by using Hefesto
"- Welcome to The Twilight Zone!" :)
But it simply works without calling you a bunch of dru... I meant dependencies!
After following all steps to be able to "invoke" Hefesto from your system, being into
src sub-directories of your Boojum's repo copy, you just:
BichoPapaum@R00f:~/boojum/src# hefesto
The library will be built inside ../lib and some tests will run.
After a successful build if you want to install it:
BichoPapaum@R00f:~/boojum/src# hefesto --install [--boojum-home=<path>]
To uninstall:
BichoPapaum@R00f:~/boojum/src# hefesto --uninstall [--boojum-home=<path>]
Still, if your C compiler has support for C11 you can build Boojum
by using C11 threading conveniences as follows:
BichoPapaum@R00f:~/boojum/src# hefesto --boojum-with-c11
By default Boojum's build gives preference for GCC and when not found
Clang will be tried. If you want to force the usage of a specific toolset:
BichoPapaum@R00f:~/boojum/src# hefesto --toolset=<gcc|clang>
On Windows you can use MSVC (2019), too:
BichoPapaum@R00f:~/boojum/src# hefesto --toolset=msvc
On MSVC if you want to a debug library:
BichoPapaum@R00f:~/boojum/src# hefesto --toolset=msvc --compile-model=debug
If you want to build the well-simple provided samples into src/samples:
BichoPapaum@R00f:~/boojum/src# hefesto --mk-samples
Once built, you will get those samples in bin top-level sub-directory.
In order to stage a new release you can use the build automation convenience:
BichoPapaum@R00f:~/boojum/src# hefesto --release-build[=<version>]
Then, just follow the steps.
