[Feature Request] [with suggestion] add `make install` target.

[dreirund]

Ahoj,

to ease packaging for Unix systems, please add a make install target, which installs everything to run cito system-wide to the appropriate directories, and which honours DESTDIR:

• By default, install to a directory structure under /usr/local/,
• if DESTDIR=/somedirectory is specified, install to a proper directory structure under $(DESTDIR)/.
  (e.g. executable to usr/bin/cito, if shared libraries belong to the project they go into usr/lib/, documentation into usr/share/doc/cito, etc.)

My solution was to

1. copy <cito-build-directory>/bin/Debug/net*/* into $DESTDIR/usr/lib/cito/,
2. chmod 755 $DESTDIR/usr/lib/cito/cito,
3. ln -s $DESTDIR/usr/lib/cito/cito $DESTDIR/usr/bin/cito.

(See ↗ this PKGBUILD.

I don't know if this is sufficient.

Also, I do not want to have a debug build, but that was the only think which was produced.

Regards!

Thanks for reporting this!

Now that cito is ported to Ć (#48), one can build it transpiled to C++. To solve the chicken-and-egg problem, Transpiled.cpp is checked into Git, so the only build dependency is a C++20 compiler, such as gcc 13 or clang 16.

make install will install the C++ binary. I will add the man page later. Not sure if installing *.md docs and /usr/share/licenses/cito/COPYING is recommended on all Linux distros?
