Pikchr

Building Pikchr from source code

The pikchr.c source file and its accompanying pikchr.h header are build products. They are not found directly in the version control system. You have to download the source tree and run a makefile in order to construct those files. Fortunately, that is not difficult. There are no external dependencies apart from a C-compiler.

Once you have the source tree available, as described below, run one of the following "make" command to build pikchr.c on Unix-like systems including MacOS:

make pikchr.c

On Windows, using MSVC do:

nmake /f Makefile.msc pikchr.c

To build the Pikchr command-line shell, use the pikchr or pikchr.exe makefile target. To run tests, use the test makefile target.

Obtaining the complete Pikchr source tree

A tarball or ZIP archive of the latest source code is available at the following links:

• https://pikchr.org/home/tarball/trunk/pikchr.tar.gz
• https://pikchr.org/home/zip/trunk/pikchr.zip

With the complete source tree on your local machine, you can run "make" or "nmake" to build and test Pikchr.

Clone the Fossil Repository

Pikchr uses Fossil for version control. You can clone the entire repository (which includes everything on this website, including all the documentation and test cases) as follows:

• Install Fossil if you haven't done so already

• fossil clone https://pikchr.org/ pikchr.fossil

• fossil open pikchr.fossil

After you have the repository cloned, you can bring in any updates using:

• fossil up trunk

Once you have a clone of the Fossil repository, you can bring up a copy of this website on your local machine by typing:

• fossil ui

See the Fossil documentation for more information on how manage a Fossil repository.
