How to build this project?

[MacDada]

I'm still noobish with C++ – I mostly use PlatformIO, never wrote a single line of Makefile.

So, the question is: how do I build this project?

I've seen CONTRIBUTING.md, but it's inconclusive.

I've tried using make (with no success):

➜  ArduinoFake git:(master) ✗ make
make: cmake: No such file or directory
make: *** [cmake] Error 1
➜  ArduinoFake git:(master) ✗ mkdir build
➜  ArduinoFake git:(master) ✗ make       
make: cmake: No such file or directory
make: *** [cmake] Error 1
➜  ArduinoFake git:(master) ✗ make all
make: cmake: No such file or directory
make: *** [cmake] Error 1
➜  ArduinoFake git:(master) ✗ make build
make: cmake: No such file or directory
make: *** [cmake] Error 1

I've tried using pio run (kinda works, but there is no main()):

➜  ArduinoFake git:(master) ✗ pio run

I've tried using pio test (finally something working as expected):

➜  ArduinoFake git:(master) pio test

Anything else? Should I just run pio test, or do I somehow make make working?

I'm on MacOS with CLion, if that changes anything…

make requires cmake - install that via apt or brew or yum (whatever package manager your system uses)

[RobertByrnes]

When I did this I found doing it in Windows was a pain due to 'make' in that environment, however, cloning the repo into WSL and installing make and cmake there worked ok!

cmake . and then make to build, followed by make test to run the test suites

yeah, i had to install it via brew install cmake and now make works as expected, thx!
