~ building potion ~

Normally

$ make

To build with debugging symbols

$ make DEBUG=1

To build without JIT

$ make JIT=0

Lastly, to verify your build

$ make test

~ the latest potion ~

To build the bleeding edge, you will need GNU make, binutils and gcc or clang.

$ git clone --branch master git://github.com/perl11/potion.git
$ cd potion
$ make

~ installing ~

$ sudo make install

~ building on windows ~

Potion's win32 binaries are built using MinGW. http://mingw.org/

It's a bit hard to setup mingw and gmake on Windows. I usually run a shell under Cygwin and add MinGW to my $PATH.

Once that's all done,

$ make

The easiest way to do this, actually, is on Linux.

On Ubuntu, if you have MinGW installed,

$ make CC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc

~ building on bsd ~

BSD make is not supported. You can either install gnu make (gmake)

$ sudo port install gmake

or try to merge 'master' with the branch 'bsd'

$ git merge bsd
... resolve conflicts, or not

and remove then -ldl from config.inc LIBS

$ make
$ cat config.inc | sed 's, -ldl,,' > config.inc
$ make

~ building with a strict C++ compiler ~

potion does not support strict C++ compilers.

Either add a C dialect to CC in config.inc (i.e. -std=c89),

g++ --help=C; clang++ -x C -std=gnu89

or try to merge with the branch 'p2-c++'.
