Compiling the Compiler

Before compiling the compiler you need to have each dependency installed first.

Note

This is only required if you plan on compiling the compiler manually instead of using the pre-compiled compiler binary.

$ chmod +x ./dependencies.sh
$ ./dependencies.sh

Compiler ADAN's binary file using make.

$ make

Different Make Commands

$ make         # Clean, build, and run the binary file.
$ make build   # Clean and create a fresh binary.
$ make run     # Clear the terminal, then run an existing binary.
$ make format  # Beautifies all C files in the `./src` dir, respecting rules from `.clang-format`.
$ make clean   # Removes an existing binary in `./build`
$ make install # Install all required dependencies. (Linux required for now!)
