Installation instructions #8

Closed amejiarosario closed 3 years ago

amejiarosario commented 3 years ago

Hi, This project looks great and I'd like to try it out. However, I'm new to C++ and having some difficulties installing the program.

Could you please provide instructions how to get the dependencies installed (e.g., Boost)?

Hello,

it depends on the distribution you're using. List of additional packages for Ubuntu is listed in .travis.yml:

libarchive13 is a dependency of SrcML, for which you can download a binary from their site.

You can avoid building by using AppImage from releases page, which I have just updated to include latest changes. You just download and make it executable, should work in most environments.

Thanks for the pointer. Looking at the travis.yml was useful. After some trial and error, I found that bison and flex were also needed.

# installing dependencies
sudo apt install -y libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-iostreams-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-system-dev libarchive13
sudo apt install -y bison flex
# installing srcml
wget http://131.123.42.38/lmcrs/beta/srcML-Ubuntu18.04.deb && sudo apt install ./srcML-Ubuntu18.04.deb

Do you mind if I create a PR expanding on installation instructions to help other users?

Of course I don't mind.
