Concoct 🧪

Concoct is an imperative, dynamically-typed, interpreted, general-purpose programming language written in C.

🚧 Note: This project is very much a work in progress. The interpreter is not yet functional. Have a look at the roadmap.

For more information about Concoct, please see the wiki.

Building 🛠️

Requirements

• A C compiler that supports the C99 standard (Clang, GCC, MinGW, MSVC >=2015)
• CMake (>=3.1.0)
• make/gmake (if using Linux/Unix, Cygwin, or MinGW)

Linux/Unix and Cygwin Steps

1. Install prerequisites: Debian/Ubuntu:

   apt-get install cmake gcc git make
   

   CentOS/Fedora/RHEL:

   yum install cmake gcc git make
   

   FreeBSD:

   pkg install clang cmake git make
   

2. Obtain the source code via git or download a zip archive:

   git clone https://github.com/Concoctist/concoct.git
   

   Or:

   wget https://github.com/Concoctist/concoct/archive/master.zip && unzip master.zip
   

3. In the top-level directory where CMakeLists.txt exists, create a build directory:

   mkdir bld && cd bld
   

4. Generate the Makefile (you can alternatively use ccmake here if you prefer):

   cmake ..
   

5. Build Concoct:

   make
   

6. There should now be a concoct executable under the bin directory if the build was successful:

   $ ./concoct -v
   Concoct v0.1.0 rev 148 (d976be2) (64-bit Linux) (Debug) built at 00:46 on 01-02-2022
   

Windows Steps

1. Install the prerequisite software. This includes Visual Studio >=2015 with the "Desktop development with C++" workload as shown below. The aforementioned workload should include CMake. You can also optionally install Git and add the executable to your path:

   

2. Clone the Concoct source code. This can be done via Visual Studio or by using a git client of your choice:

   

   Or:

   

   

3. Generate the CMake cache:

   

4. Build Concoct:

   

5. If the build was successful, concoct.exe should now exist in your output directory:

   

Docker/Podman Steps

1. Build image:

   podman build -t concoct -f Containerfile
   

2. Run container:

   podman run -it localhost/concoct
