- virtualritz 14y agoGo to 'Download'. There is /only/ a link to the github repo.
- avolcano 14y agoOof. Those build steps seem a bit obtuse (as someone used to a "brew/pip/gem/npm install"). Wonder why there are no binaries distributed?
- mrcharles 14y agoBecause he's not ready for full release. He's working towards it though, but right now it is still effectively in development but not fully ready for release.
- eropple 14y ago> Those build steps seem a bit obtuse (as someone used to a "brew/pip/gem/npm install"). They don't strike me as particularly obtuse. But I write a decent amount of C++ already, and I've come to terms with the reality that there is always some assembly required. Binaries don't strike me as particularly useful for C++ projects. C projects, moreso, but with C++ you've got to support a number of different C++ runtimes per platform (the various MSVCRTs on Windows, libstdc++ and libc++ on OS X) and it's probably just better to have the user--who is going to be the one stuck with it--build it themselves.
- virtualritz 14y agoI built it and it was dead easy just following the build instructions for Unix makefiles in the BUILT.txt (I'm on OS X but I never use XCode). Although I don't get why they do not distribute a shell script wrapper for these build steps, they have no variables. The build steps seem to miss the IDE though. The part I was most interested in. I have postponed playing with Polycode until I get that to work on OS X.
