Compiling and Running

Compiling

To compile the project, first, create a build directory and change to that directory:

mkdir build && cd build

From within the build directory, then run cmake and make as follows:

cmake ..
make

Running the command above should build the executable as well as pull down the Google Test Framework is used for testing.

Running

The executable will be placed in the build directory. From within build, you can run the project as follows:

./UCG

I have placed the generated output png files from my runs in 'Resources/results'/

Testing

The testing executable is also placed in the build directory. From within build, you can run the unit tests as follows:

./unit_tests
