Setup

NOTE: By default, there are no bin folders.

Recommended Setup

toby@desktop:~/xo-online$ mkdir bin && mkdir tests/bin \
  && make

Once you have completed the setup step, simply run the server. If you are still in the root of the project, you'll need to run

toby@desktop:~/xo-online$ ./bin/server

for the server.

Conversely, if you would like to connect as a client:

toby@desktop:~/xo-online$ ./bin/client

Only the Necessities

If you would like to create only the server & client, omitting the tests, simply only create a bin folder within the root of the project.

toby@desktop:~/xo-online$ mkdir bin && make server client

Compiling Tests

If you would like the tests, you will need to have both the bin in the project root and the bin in the test folder

toby@desktop:~/xo-online$ mkdir bin && tests/bin && make tests

Running All Tests

To run every test, run the make test command. As before, this assumes that the bin and tests/bin folders are created.

toby@desktop:~/xo-online$ make test

Configuring Makefile

Release builds are compiled without the -DDEBUG flag and -fsanitize=address (Address Sanitizer) They use a much higher level of optimisation compared to debug builds, using -O3 rather than -O0

If you would like to compile the debug build, use the options within the Makefile:

...
OPT=-O0
CFLAGS=-Wall -Wextra -g -DDEBUG -fsanitize=address $(INCDIRS) $(OPT)

all: server client tests
...
