The authoritative local source tree is D:\code\ccode.
The project is a CMake C++20 project named DotTalkpp. The root CMake file exposes build options for indexing, relations, education, Turbo Vision, GUI-neutral services, wxWidgets, tests, and optional Python bindings.
Requirements
- 64-bit Windows development environment.
- CMake 3.21 or newer.
- Visual Studio 2022 or another configured C++20 toolchain.
- POSIX-compatible shell and build tools for WSL, Ubuntu, Linux, and macOS builds.
- Optional vcpkg packages for local dependencies.
- Optional Turbo Vision source/package if building TUI surfaces.
- Optional wxWidgets when building the wx frontend.
CLI build shape
cd D:\code\ccode
cmake -S . -B build -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64 -D DOTTALK_WITH_INDEX=ON -D DOTTALK_WITH_RELATIONS=ON -D BUILD_TESTING=ON
cmake --build build --config Release --target dottalkpp
GUI build shape
cd D:\code\ccode
cmake -S . -B build-wx-check -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64 -D DOTTALK_WITH_GUI=ON -D DOTTALK_WITH_WX=ON -D DOTTALK_WITH_INDEX=ON
cmake --build build-wx-check --config Release
WSL / Ubuntu POSIX build requirements
Use WSL2 or a native Ubuntu environment when testing the POSIX build lane.
Expected packages:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y build-essential cmake ninja-build git pkg-config
Optional packages depend on the feature lane being tested:
sudo apt install -y liblmdb-dev libwxgtk3.2-dev python3-dev python3-venv
Build shape:
cd /mnt/d/code/ccode
cmake -S . -B build-posix -G Ninja \
-D DOTTALK_WITH_INDEX=ON \
-D DOTTALK_WITH_RELATIONS=ON \
-D BUILD_TESTING=ON
cmake --build build-posix
The POSIX lane should keep path handling, case sensitivity, newline behavior, file locking, and terminal behavior visible in test notes.
macOS build requirements
Use Xcode Command Line Tools plus Homebrew packages for the macOS lane.
xcode-select --install
brew install cmake ninja pkg-config
Optional feature packages:
brew install lmdb wxwidgets python
Build shape:
cd ~/code/ccode
cmake -S . -B build-macos -G Ninja \
-D DOTTALK_WITH_INDEX=ON \
-D DOTTALK_WITH_RELATIONS=ON \
-D BUILD_TESTING=ON
cmake --build build-macos
macOS notes should track compiler version, SDK version, filesystem case behavior, terminal behavior, and optional GUI backend status.
Verify
Use the real command surfaces described in Quickstart, then compare local behavior against Current Project Truth.
