The --file option doesn't work on Windows due to POSIX libraries not implemented on Windows compiler and the use of not standard C. The problem are mostly the use of getline and sleep functions.

A simple solution is avoiding this by replacing functions with standard C functions or replacing them with Windows compiler functions, not POSIX.

This should be OUT of the Makefile.

In order to make it executable on Android (termux) and other ARM64 devices, we need to make a build for this kind of systems.

Like cowsay, this package could allow you to choose the barking of the dog or even allow the user to print a custom message right down the dog.

Currently there isn't a way to package the program into DEB automatically.

Related to #3, if we are going to add a N number of dogs, the user will need to be allowed to choose one or pick a random one. Like this:

$ dog -d 1
$ dog --choosen-dog 1

Or pick a random one by default.

The compilation will fail if there isn't a bin directory when you launch the build, so the Makefile should be able to check this and create a proper directory before continue.

Dogs needs their own logo.

Right now the doggo is only able to bark, train him so he can learn to read from a file :)

Currently there is only one dog design, would be nice if we can add more dogs (ASCII art please!).

Aslong we have built a Linux (currently deb) package to be able to install dog using using pre-built package, we need to package for Windows too. With a graphical installer and/or Chocolatey installer.

Currently tested and working fine on WSL but we need to build it too on Windows.

• Compile on Windows (x86)
• Compile on Windows (x64)
• Fully ported to Windows systems
  • Fix --file option for Windows (see #21)

Currently is compiled on branch wip/windows but it's not fully ported.

Add a simply man page for the package, with a -h ,--help param to show some info about the package, like the ASCII logo, possible options and other significant information.

• Help option
• Man page

➜  dog-0.0.1 git:(master) ✗ dog --help | lolcat

Support for other platforms and architectures

Windows

• i386
• amd64

Linux

• aarch64
• arm7v
• i386
• amd64

In order to make it executable on Android (termux) and other ARM7v devices, we need to make a build for this kind of systems.

Add support for other commands like --who-is-a-good-boy.

$ dog --who-is-a-good-boy
Woof woof woof!!!

Allow to set the length of the rendered dog by passing it's value with -l parameter.
