3. CMake

Medium
Prerequisites
  • Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
  • CMake The tool used to generate build configuration.
  • C/C++ 컴파일러 Windows needs Visual Studio (Community edition, free), macOS needs Xcode Command Line Tools, Linux needs the gcc/g++ package.
cd c

This project's files live in a subfolder, so move into it first.

mkdir build && cd build

Creates a folder to hold the build output and moves into it.

cmake ..

Analyzes the source code and generates build configuration files (must be run inside the build folder).

make

Compiles the code based on the generated build configuration to produce an executable.

βœ… Check that an executable was created inside the build folder, then run it directly (e.g. ./build/app_name).

4. Rust

Medium
Prerequisites
  • Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
  • Rust (rustup) Installing via rustup also installs cargo.
cargo install b3sum

Builds and installs the package published on crates.io β€” no need to clone the repo yourself.

βœ… If cargo build finishes without errors, it worked. The executable is created under target/.
