Build

To be able to build Scalpel, you need:

• to install CMake;
• a C++ compiler that supports some features of the upcoming C++ standard (alias C++0x):
  • variadic templates;
  • rvalue references;
  • auto-typed variables;
  • initializer lists;
  • strongly-typed enums;
  • deleted functions;
  • double right angle brackets in template-ids;
  • range-based for loop;
  • constexpr;
  • nullptr.

From your terminal, go to the Scalpel root directory (containing the file CMakeLists.txt) and run:
cmake . -G"Unix Makefiles"

Depending on your system and preferences, you may want to select another generator (-G option). The available generators are listed in the CMake help (-h option).

If you've chosen a makefile generator, just type:
make

If you've chosen to generate an IDE project file, open it and build the project.

The build may take a while. There should be four important resulting files (whose names may change depending on your system):

• lib/libscalpel.so (shared library);
• cpp2xml/lib/libcpp2json.so (shared library);
• demo/bin/demo (executable);
• test/bin/test (executable).
