advCalc

Reimplementation of calc from scratch.

Note: The Qt GUI version is available.

Prerequisites

Qt and GNU Readline development libraries should be installed beforehand to build the source successfully.

Build and Execute

Firstly, clean everything if you had built it previously:

make cleanall

Then start the build:

make

To build the GUI instead, run the following command:

make all_gui

Now, you can start the calculator using:

./calc

Or the GUI using:

./calc_qt

provided you have compiled it successfully. For a system wide installation do:

sudo make install

Now you will be able to execute it simply using:

calc

Systemwide GUI installation will be provided in near future. Wait till then.

How to Contribute

To look at the program flow you need to be able to debug. To do so, first create a debugger friendly executable. Start by removing any executable you had previously built:

make cleanall

then build the source code using:

make CFLAGS+=-ggdb

which will enable GDB friendly debugging information. For other debuggers use -g instead of -ggdb.
