GraphC/README.md

GraphC - visual programming tool

When i was working on my compiler project, i understood that AST processing code isn't clear even for me because of hundreds lines of condition branches. GraphC is GUI editor of condition trees. It generates optimized AST processing code in C. GUI is based on Dear ImGui and SDL

Installation

1. Clone the repository

git clone --recurse-submodules https://timerix.ddns.net:3322/Timerix/GraphC.git

2. Install cbuild
3. Install SDL2 from package manager or compile it from source.
   If you are using msys, switch to mingw64 sh.

   git clone https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL.git
   cd SDL
   ./configure
   make -j [number of cpu threads]
   

   Then you can install it systemwide (on Linux):

   sudo make install
   

   or copy to ./dependencies/precompiled/ (on Windows):

   mkdir -p ../GraphC/dependencies/precompiled/
   cp ./build/.libs/SDL2.dll ../GraphC/dependencies/precompiled/
   

   If it doesn't work, read SDL/INSTALL.txt and SDL/docs/README.md.
4. Symlink SDL headers directory to dependencies/include

   cd ../GraphC
   ln -s SDL2_HEADERS_DIRECTORY_ABSOLUTE_PATH -T dependencies/include/SDL2
   

   Location of the headers can be found by pkg-config --cflags --libs sdl2. Mingw installs SDL2 headers to /mingw64/include/SDL2.
5. Compile the program

   cbuild build_exec_dbg
