ChronoTrigger - Task Scheduler

Chrono Trigger is a classic jRPG game where players travel through time to prevent a global catastrophe. I played a lot of it as a kid on the SNES, but still, it's a great name for a task scheduler :)

Building

This project includes both a static library and example programs that link to it. To build the project, follow the instructions below.

Requirements

• A C++17 compatible compiler (e.g., g++).
• make for managing the build process.

Clone the repository

First, clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/lukgni/chronotrigger.git
cd chronotrigger

Build the project

The project includes two primary targets: the library (lib) and the examples (examples). You can build both using the default all target, or build them separately.

Build all components (library + examples)

To build the entire project, including the static library and the example programs, run:

make

This will:

1. Build the static library libchronotrigger.a located in the build/lib directory.
2. Compile all the example programs in the examples directory and place the executables in build/bin/.

Build only the library

To build only the static library, run:

make lib

This will:

1. Compile all source files from the src directory.
2. Create the static library libchronotrigger.a in the build/lib/ directory.
3. Copy the header files from include/ into the library's include directory (build/lib/include/chronotrigger/).

Build only the examples

To build only the example programs, run:

make examples

This will:

1. Compile the example source files in the examples directory.
2. Link them against the static library libchronotrigger.a.
3. Place the resulting executables in the build/bin/ directory.

Clean the project

To clean the build directory (remove all object files and binaries), run:

make clean

This will delete everything inside the build/ directory.

File Structure

After building the project, the file structure will look like this:

chronotrigger/
├── build/                # Directory for compiled files
│   ├── bin/              # Executables for examples
│   └── lib/              # Static library and include files
├── include/              # Header files
│   └── chronotrigger/    # Library-specific headers
├── src/                  # Source files for the library
├── examples/             # Example programs
├── Makefile              # Makefile for building the project
└── README.md             # Project documentation

If you encounter any issues or need further customization, refer to the Makefile or the project documentation for more details.
