SixtyFPS build guide

This page explain how to build and test sixtyfps.

Prerequisites

Installing Rust

Install Rust by following the Rust Getting Started Guide.

Once this is done, you should have the rustc compiler and the cargo build system installed in your path.

Testing

Most of the project is written in Rust, and compiling and running the test can done with cargo.

cargo build
cargo test

Note that cargo test does not work without first calling cargo build because the C++ tests will not find the dynamic library

See the examples folder for examples to build, run and test.

Running the viewer

SixtyFPS also includes a viewer tool that can load .60files dynamically at run-time. It is a cargo-integrated binary and can be run directly on the .60files, for example:

cargo run --bin viewer -- examples/printerdemo/ui/printerdemo.60
