neochief / squirrel-lang-sdk

This is a Squirrel SDK for Intellij IDEA Squirrel plugin. This SDK consists from official Squirrel sources (probably outdated by now) and Squirrel debugger.

What is this?

This repository was created to ease the cross-platform use of the Squirrel language. Official distribution of Squirrel does not include a debugger, which you can hardly find and compile on non Windows OS.

So, here's what this repository contains:

• Unmodified Squirrel 3.0.7.
• Fork of the squirrel debugger (sqdbg), with a better cross-platform support.
• Unit tests for debugger.

What is in this distribution?

src/squirrel:

static library implementing the compiler and interpreter of the language

src/sqstdlib

src/sq

How to compile and build

Note: In all cases build results will be placed into "output" directory.

Command line

Note: Windows users will need to install MinGW-w64 with win32 threads and sjlj exceptions prior to compilation.

mkdir build; cd build
cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" --build ..
make

Visual Studio

Initially you need to run this from CMD to build Visual Studio solution files:

mkdir build; cd build
cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" --build .. 
./squirrel.sln

Then, you can always open build/squirrel.sln.

Note: if you own different version of VS, run the "cmake --help" and scroll down to find the build name for your version.

CLion

Open root directory as new project and build all targets.

Note: Windows users will need MinGW-w64 with win32 threads and sjlj exceptions as a toolchain.

Other IDEs

Run the "cmake --help" and scroll down to find the build name for your version. Then run this in project root:

mkdir build; cd build
cmake -G "<PUT HERE YOUR IDE'S BUILD STRING>" --build .. 

Most likely you will find project files of your IDE in build directory.
