This was the first prototype of Bintracker, written in C++. It is now defunct. The information below is retained for historical purposes.

building from source
Building bintracker from source requires an existing installation of pugixml and Allegro5, including the respective header files. On Debian-based systems, running apt-get install liballegro5-dev libpugixml-dev should install all the necessary dependencies. On OS X, brew install --HEAD allegro && brew install pugixml should do the trick. After those dependencies have been installed, you can build bintracker by running cmake . && make in the main directory.
For cross-build bintracker for Windows with MinGW, there are two possible routes. You can either utilize a regular MinGW toolchain, or the MXE toolchain. In either case, the Allegro5 sources are expected to be in a folder named liballeg_w32 residing inside the bintracker main directory. Create this directory, cd into it and run git clone https://github.com/liballeg/allegro5.git. Next, you must install the necessary dependencies, including pugixml, libjpeg, libpng, zlib, libopus, and libwebp. After this step is completed, you can build the Allegro5 library. cd into the Allegro5 topdir. When using regular MinGW, run cmake -DSHARED=0 -DWANT_DEMO=0 -DWANT_EXAMPLES=0 -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=cmake/Toolchain-mingw.cmake. When using MXE, run cmake -DSHARED=0 -DWANT_DEMO=0 -DWANT_EXAMPLES=0 -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/usr/lib/mxe/usr/i686-w64-mingw32.static/share/cmake/mxe-conf.cmake. Then, run make. Now, you can build bintracker itself by running make -f makefile.mingw (regular MinGW), or make -f makefile.travis_mingw` (MXE) in the main bintracker directory.
