All operating systems (Windows, Linux and Mac) now have their CMake configuration.

• Open molflow_win.sln in the Visual_Studio folder, and use Visual Studio to build the solution.
  Tested with Visual Studio Community 2019.
• Update: With Visual Studio 2019's CMake support, you can now open the main folder containing CMakeLists.txt (File->Open Folder) and build the project

• Scripts in the build_linux_debian folder
• Compile source files with compile_linux_debian.sh and link with link_linux_debian.sh. The resulting binaries are written in bin/linux_debian
  CMakeLists.txt / makefile coming soon.
  See readme.txt for required packages to build.
• Update: you can now build the project with CMake: run cmake . in the folder containing CMakeLists.txt, then run make. The resulting binaries can be run from the bin folder

• Scripts in the build_linux_fedora folder
• The readme.txt file in this folder contains more info
• You have to clone and build GCC 8.2 (or later) first.
• Before building GCC 8, you can configure an install directory (../configure --prefix=$GCC8DIR --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-multilib)
• The compile scripts expect a GCC installation folder (with bin and lib64 folders), the location should be the default (/usr/bin) or defined by the $GCC8DIR environment variable
• Compile source files with compile_linux.sh and link with link_linux_fedora.sh. The resulting binaries are written in bin/linux_fedora
• Update: you can now build the project with CMake: run cmake . in the folder containing CMakeLists.txt, then run make. The resulting binaries can be run from the bin folder

• Use Homebrew to install build tools, like g++-8, the SDL2 library, libpng, gsl, curl, p7zip
• The compile and link scripts are in the build_mac folder. The resulting binaries are written in bin/mac
• Compile source files with compile_mac.sh and link with link_mac.sh. The resulting binaries are written in bin/mac
• Update: you can now build the project with CMake: run cmake . in the folder containing CMakeLists.txt, then run make. The resulting binaries can be run from the bin folder

Use the shortcut (that changes the working directory and launches molflow.exe) in bin\win\release

• Install dependencies with the apt package manager, like libsdl2-2.0, gsl-bin, libatlas-base-dev
• In the bin/linux_debian folder, make molflow and compress executable
• Run molflow

Detailed instructions here

• Make launch_molflow.sh executable
• Run launch_molflow.sh (It adds the lib folder to the library search path and launches molflow)

Detailed instructions here

• Use Homebrew to install dependencies, like sdl2, libpng, gsl, gcc
• In the bin/mac folder, make molflow and compress executable
• Run molflow

Commits are constantly pushed to this primary repo, and some of them might break - temporarily - the build scripts. If you want to fork Molflow, it is recommended that you download a snapshot of a guaranteed-to-work state. Usually these snapshots are made at every public release of Molflow.
