How can I build the project from the future branch? #81

Closed DarkblooM-IO closed 1 year ago

I was trying to test httpd.lol but ran into an issue and the apparent way to resolve it is to use the future branch, except I get this error when running make:

[ 10%] Building C object CMakeFiles/lci.dir/main.c.o
/home/darkbloom/Downloads/lci/main.c:112:10: fatal error: readline/readline.h: No such file or directory

Enlightenment would be appreciated.

This likely means that the headers for the readline library are not installed. If you are on Linux, it should be something like this:

sudo apt-get install libreadline-dev

That was it, thank you!

DarkblooM-IO commented 1 year ago

Btw, sorry if this is inappropriate, but do you by any chance know of any existing interpreter for Objective LOLCODE?

justinmeza commented 1 year ago

I am not aware of any implementations, but the LOLCODE 1.3 spec added support for associative arrays and inheritance, which can be used to do some object-oriented programming.

justinmeza commented 1 year ago

You can see what is implemented in lci by taking a look at some of the unit tests here: test/1.3-Tests/12-Arrays/13-Inheritance/2-Assignment.

Gotcha, thanks
