README
# Read Evaluate Print Loop ++
A small, portable GNU readline replacement for Linux, Windows and
MacOS which is capable of handling UTF-8 characters. Unlike GNU
readline, which is GPL, this library uses a BSD license and can be
used in any kind of program.
## Origin
This replxx implementation is based on the work by
[ArangoDB Team](https://github.com/arangodb/linenoise-ng) and
[Salvatore Sanfilippo](https://github.com/antirez/linenoise) and
10gen Inc. The goal is to create a zero-config, BSD
licensed, readline replacement usable in Apache2 or BSD licensed
programs.
## Features
* single-line and multi-line editing mode with the usual key bindings implemented
* history handling
* completion
* syntax highlighting
* hints
* BSD license source code
* Only uses a subset of VT100 escapes (ANSI.SYS compatible)
* UTF8 aware
* support for Linux, MacOS and Windows
## Requirements
To build this library, you will need a C++11-enabled compiler and
some recent version of CMake.
## Build instructions
### *nix
1. Create a build directory
```bash
mkdir -p build && cd build
```
2. Build the library
```bash
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. && make
```
3. Install the library at the default target location
```bash
sudo make install
```
The default installation location can be adjusted by setting the `DESTDIR`
variable when invoking `make install`:
```bash
make DESTDIR=/tmp install
```
### Windows
1. Create a build directory in MS-DOS command prompt
```
md build
cd build
```
2. Generate Visual Studio solution file with cmake
* 32 bit:
```bash
cmake -G "Visual Studio 12 2013" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
```
* 64 bit:
```bash
cmake -G "Visual Studio 12 2013 Win64" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
```
3. Open the generated file `replxx.sln` in the `build` subdirectory with Visual Studio.
## Tested with...
* Linux text only console ($TERM = linux)
* Linux KDE terminal application ($TERM = xterm)
* Linux xterm ($TERM = xterm)
* Linux Buildroot ($TERM = vt100)
* Mac OS X iTerm ($TERM = xterm)
* Mac OS X default Terminal.app ($TERM = xterm)
* OpenBSD 4.5 through an OSX Terminal.app ($TERM = screen)
* IBM AIX 6.1
* FreeBSD xterm ($TERM = xterm)
* ANSI.SYS
* Emacs comint mode ($TERM = dumb)
* Windows
Please test it everywhere you can and report back!
