Building

Clone the repository git clone --recursive or if already cloned, git submodule update --init --recursive at the root to ensure all source code is retrieved.

Then run the following commands from the root of this repository:

Linux

# Install dependencies
apt install cmake build-essential libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev

# Build
cmake -B build -S .
cmake --build build --parallel --verbose

Windows via MSYS2 (MinGW, UCRT64, e.t.c)

# Update pacman and install dependencies
pacman -Syuu # Terminal may prompt to restart before proceeding
pacman -S git base-devel libargp-devel cmake gcc libcurl-devel gmp-devel autoconf automake libtool

# MSYS packages libargp with a .dll suffix which breaks rlpvalue's autotool
# script so we patch it up
ln -s /usr/lib/libargp.dll.a /usr/lib/libargp.a

# Build
cmake -B build -S .
cmake --build build --parallel --verbose

Various options can be added to the cmake .. line; some common options are:

• -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release to make a release build

Testing

Unit tests use Catch2 as a formal unit-test framework. Unit tests are built by default as part of the standard CMake build logic (unless being built as a subdirectory of another CMake project) and can be invoked through the make test or running the test binaries build in build/tests.
