Compiling

Note that compiler warnings might pop up which can be safely ignored and will most likely be fixed in one of the future releases.

Windows / Linux

We do provide binaries for Windows / Linux systems. You can download them for each release after Koivisto 3.0 here. Note that we strongly recommend that you build the binaries yourself for best performance. Assuming build tools have been installed, one can type:

git clone https://github.com/Luecx/Koivisto.git
cd Koivisto/

mkdir bin/ 
cd src_files
make native

Besides compiling a native version which should be best in terms of performance, one can also compile static executables using:

mkdir bin/ 
cd src_files
make release

MacOS

We do not provide binaries for MacOS yet.
