Platform support

Platform	Support
Windows	Only Windows 10 and higher are supported. Use the microsoft Terminal or Powershell 7 for the best result. Older versions of Windows don't have proper Terminal support.
Linux	All distributions supported. Most Terminals are tested. Feel free to create an issue if a Terminal is not working.
MacOS	The default Terminal app is not supporting True color which means that it can't display more than 265 colors (true color has 16M). You have to wait for 8bit color fall back support, sorry.

Roadmap

Building

This section explains, how you can compile and install Snek by yourself on each supported platform.

Build support

Operating System	compile	install	Package
Windows 10	MSVC (covered by unit testing), MinGW (gcc), MSYS2 (clang + gcc)	MinGW, MSYS2	Not implemented yet
Linux	clang, gcc	yes	Not implemented yet
MacOS	clang, gcc	yes	Not implemented yet

Build on Windows

Building on Windows is recommended by using Visual Studio Community. Simply open the Git repository. If you are using a recent version of Visual Studio Community and has installed the CMake tools, it'll setup Snek automatically. All you need to do then, is to select Snek as compile target on the top drop down menu and click on the run button.

build in MSYS2/MinGW on windows and install it

Note: This method is compiling a binary that is only able to run inside of your MinGW / MSYS2 installation. Copying the binary is not possible without including the runtime. This guide assumes that you have installed MSYS2 or MinGW already and made sure that clang cmake make git are installed and executable.

# generate build files
cmake .
# compile
make
# install
make install
# run
snek

Please note that you might have to open the Terminal as administrator to install Snek.

Build on Linux and MacOS and install it

This guide assumes that you have already installed the required packages like clang cmake make git sudo.

Compiling Snek is just like compiling any other CMake project.

# generate build files
cmake .
# compile
make
# install
sudo make install
# run
snek
