solvespace/README.md
whitequark 5e63d8301e Add a simple harness for automated, headless testing.
This commit alters the build system substantially; it adds another
platform, `headless`, that provides stubs in place of all GUI
functions, and provides a library `solvespace_headless` alongside
the main executable. To cut down build times, only the few files
that have #if defined(HEADLESS) are built twice for the executable
and the library; the rest is grouped into a new `solvespace_cad`
library. It is not usable on its own and just serves for grouping.

This commit also gates the tests behind a -DENABLE_TESTS=ON CMake
option, ON by default (but suggested as OFF in the README so that
people don't ever have to install cairo to build the executable.)

The tests introduced in this commit are (so far) rudimentary,
although functional, and they serve as a stepping point towards
introducing coverage analysis.

SolveSpace
==========
This repository contains the source code of [SolveSpace][], a parametric
2d/3d CAD.
[solvespace]: http://solvespace.com
Installation
------------
### Mac OS X (>=10.6 64-bit), Windows (>=XP 32-bit)
Binary packages for Mac OS X and Windows are available via
[GitHub releases][rel].
[rel]: https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace/releases
### Other systems
See below.
Building on Linux
-----------------
### Building for Linux
You will need CMake, libpng, zlib, json-c, fontconfig, freetype, gtkmm 2.4,
pangomm 1.4, OpenGL and OpenGL GLU. To build tests, you will need cairo.
On a Debian derivative (e.g. Ubuntu) these can be installed with:
apt-get install libpng-dev libjson-c-dev libfreetype6-dev \
libfontconfig1-dev libgtkmm-2.4-dev libpangomm-1.4-dev \
libcairo2-dev libgl-dev libglu-dev cmake
Before building, check out the necessary submodules:
git submodule update --init extlib/libdxfrw
After that, build SolveSpace as following:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DENABLE_TESTS=OFF
make
sudo make install
A fully functional port to GTK3 is available, but not recommended
for use due to bugs in this toolkit.
### Building for Windows
You will need CMake and a Windows cross-compiler.
On a Debian derivative (e.g. Ubuntu) these can be installed with:
apt-get install cmake mingw-w64
Before building, check out the necessary submodules:
git submodule update --init
After that, build 32-bit SolveSpace as following:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../cmake/Toolchain-mingw32.cmake \
-DENABLE_TESTS=OFF
make
Or, build 64-bit SolveSpace as following:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../cmake/Toolchain-mingw64.cmake \
-DENABLE_TESTS=OFF
make
The application is built as `build/src/solvespace.exe`.
Space Navigator support will not be available.
Building on Mac OS X
--------------------
You will need XCode tools, CMake, libpng and Freetype. To build tests, you
will need cairo. Assuming you use
[homebrew][], these can be installed with:
brew install cmake libpng freetype cairo
XCode has to be installed via AppStore; it requires a free Apple ID.
Before building, check out the necessary submodules:
git submodule update --init extlib/libdxfrw
After that, build SolveSpace as following:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DENABLE_TESTS=OFF
make
The app bundle is built in `build/src/solvespace.app`.
[homebrew]: http://brew.sh/
Building on Windows
-------------------
You will need [cmake][cmakewin] and Visual C++.
### GUI build
Check out the git submodules. Create a directory `build` in
the source tree and point cmake-gui to the source tree and that directory.
Press "Configure" and "Generate", then open `build\solvespace.sln` with
Visual C++ and build it.
### Command-line build
First, ensure that git and cl (the Visual C++ compiler driver) are in your
`%PATH%`; the latter is usually done by invoking `vcvarsall.bat` from your
Visual Studio install. Then, run the following in cmd or PowerShell:
git submodule update --init
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G "NMake Makefiles" -DENABLE_TESTS=OFF
nmake
### MSVC build
It is also possible to build SolveSpace using [MinGW][mingw], though
Space Navigator support will be disabled.
First, ensure that git and gcc are in your `$PATH`. Then, run the following
in bash:
git submodule update --init
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DENABLE_TESTS=OFF
make
