The `main` branch is maintained for backwards compatibility with the LOLCODE 1.3 language specification (https://github.com/justinmeza/lolcode-spec/tree/master/v1.3\n), but all future development should be done on the `future` branch.\n\n## LICENSE\n\n    Copyright (C) 2010-2014 Justin J.

Unit tests come packaged with the lci\n      source code.\n- portable: lci follows the widely ported ANSI C specification allowing it\n      to compile on a broad range of systems.\n- fast: Much effort has gone into producing simple and efficient code\n      whenever possible to the extent that the above points are not\n      compromised.\n- precisely documented: lci uses Doxygen to generate literate code\n      documentation, browsable here.\n\nThis project's homepage is at http://lolcode.org.  For help, visit\nhttp://groups.google.com/group/lci-general.  To report a bug, go to\nhttp://github.com/justinmeza/lci/issues.\n\nCreated and maintained by Justin J. Meza \u003cjustin.meza@gmail.com\u003e.\n\n## PREREQUISITES\n\n1. You must have CMake installed (www.cmake.org).\n  a) If you're using a Linux distro with package managment CMake should be in\n    your repositories.\n\n2. Python 2.7+ or Python 2.x with the argparse module installed.\n\n## INSTALLATION: THE EASY WAY ON LINUX OR MAC OSX\n\n1. run the script install.py. Note that\n\n  $ ./install.py -h\n\n  will display a list of relevant install options. For\n  example, if I wanted to install lci to the directory\n  \"/home/kurtis/opt\" I would run:\n\n  $ ./install.py --prefix=\"/home/kurtis/opt\"\n\n\n## INSTALLATION: THE MORE INVOLVED WAY ON LINUX OR MAC OSX\n\n1. Configure lci using CMake. This can be as simple as opening up the terminal,\n  navigating to the directory containing lci and typing:\n\n  $ cmake .\n\n  You can also provide any other argument to the CMake configuration process\n  you'd like. To enable Memory testing turn the PERFORM_MEM_TESTS option on\n  like so:\n\n  $ cmake -DPERFORM_MEM_TESTS:BOOL=ON .\n\n  You can also use the \"ccmake\" command or the CMake GUI if you prefer.\n  See the cmake documentation for more details.\n\n2. Build the project:\n\n  $ make\n\n3. Install\n\n  $ make install\n\n4. (Optional) Build documentation:\n\n  $ make docs\n\n5. (Optional) Run tests:\n\n  $ ctest\n\n## INSTALLATION ON WINDOWS\n\n(Note that the instructions were written from the point of view of Windows 7,\nbut in practice, any modern version will work.)\n\n1. Add MinGW and Python to your PATH.\n\n  - Start \u003e right-click Computer \u003e Properties \u003e Advanced system settings\n    \u003e Environment Variables....\n\n  - Select the \"PATH\" variable and click \"Edit...\".\n\n  - Add \";C:\\MinGW\\bin;C:\\Python32\" to the end.\n\n3. Open an Administrator shell\n\n  - Start \u003e All Programs \u003e Accessories \u003e right-click Command Prompt\n    \u003e Run as administrator.\n\n4. Navigate to the project directory using the \"cd\" command, for example,\n\n  \u003e cd C:\\Users\\%user%\\Documents\\lci\n\n5. run the script install.py. Note that\n\n  \u003e install.py -h\n\n  will display a list of relevant install options. For\n  example, if I wanted to install lci to the directory\n  \"C:\\Program Files\\lci\" I would run:\n\n  \u003e install.py --prefix=\"C:/Program Files/lci\"\n\n  (notice that forward slashes are used to separate directories.)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjustinmeza%2Flci","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjustinmeza%2Flci","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjustinmeza%2Flci/lists"}
