SixtyFPS build guide

This page explain how to build and test sixtyfps.

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

Run the rusttest examples

There are two examples written in rust:

The first one uses the sixtyfps! macro

cargo run --bin rusttest

The second one uses an external .60 file

cargo run --bin rusttest2

The C++ example

First, it is required to build the cmakelists.txt

cargo xtask cmake

Then, from another directory, one can run cmake and make

cmake /path/to/sixtyfps/example/cpptest
make
./hello

Running the viewer

One the viewer on a few .60 files, for example:

cargo run --bin viewer -- examples/cpptest/hello.60
cargo run --bin viewer -- tests/cases/plusminus.60
