Requirements:

• cmake
• gcc / clang / msvc

Usage

mkdir build
cd build

# Generate build files.
cmake ..

# Compile
make

# Run program (EXEC_NAME is set on CMakeLists.txt)
./[EXEC_NAME] 

# Run tests
make tests

Remarks

• This project uses the v3 branch of Catch2.
• Catch2 is built as a static library and then linked to our tests executable.
• When generating the build files, all submodules will be fetched using the script SubmodulesCheck.cmake. This can be turned off by changing the variable GIT_SUBMODULE.
