Lindenmayer

Provide a tool with a dedicated language to describe and visualize Lindenmayer systems.

Git and submodule

We use git submodules. Keep in mind to update submodules after checkout and clone using --recursive.

git clone --recursive [e-mail]:IohannRabeson/Lindenmayer.git

Dependencies

• Qt 5 (>= 5.10)
• Java (>= 8)

Somes libraries are embedded:

• ANTLR
• Google Test
• Qool
  Several libraries are embedded as submodules so don't forget to clone using the flag --recursive. If you didn't use it, shame on you and type git submodule init && git submodule update.

Build

Require Qt 5 installed on your system.
Also a C++ compiler with sparse support for C++17 is required.
Qt directory should be added to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH.

cmake <project_dir> -G <generator> -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="$(brew --prefix qt)"

Tested generators:

• GNU Make
• Ninja
• Xcode
• MSVC 2015

Windows with MSVC

On Windows don't forget to select a x64 generator, default or x86 will not works. Also you will have some missing Qt DLL, so you have to update your PATH in Visual Studio:
Right click on the project "Lindenmayer" > Properties > Debugging > Environment then add a new entry like that: PATH=$(PATH);<QTDIR>\bin.

The extra build step to generate the L-Code parser

Because I'm using ANTLR, I added an extra build step where Antlr generates C++ code from a grammar defined by the file core/private/language/LSystem.g4.
