Windows support is the highest priority and has the widest device compatibility. OSX and Linux are actively tested.

Compiler support

The primary compiler targeted is MSVC's toolchain.

Build environment

1. Install CMake 3.23 or newer
2. Install a fairly recent version of Microsoft Visual Studio.

Build

From the repository root:

Using pre-commit

Pre-commit is a utility that runs certain checks before you can create a commit in git. This helps ensure each commit addresses any quality/formatting issues.

To use, first install it. It's a python package so you can use pip.

pip install pre-commit

Then, navigate to this repo and initialize:

cd acquire
pre-commit install

This will configure the git hooks so they get run the next time you try to commit.

Tips

• The formatting checks modify the files to fix them.
• The commands that get run are in .pre-commit-config.yaml > You'll have to install those.
• cppcheck is disabled by default, but can be enabled by uncommenting the > corresponding lines in .pre-commit-config.yaml. See that file for more > details.
