@ -106,43 +106,61 @@ Here goes how to try imag out.
### Building
One can build all the modules simply by running `make` which defaults to
building all the modules and placing them in the `out/` directory of the project
root.
By now, there are several targets in the Makefile, fulfilling following roles:
* `all` Is the default and builds every crate in debug mode. This is the same as
traversing every directory yourself and calling `cargo build` in it.
To build a single crate, call `make <crate>`, for example
`make imag-store`
* `release`, as the name implies, builds every crate in release mode. Following
the example above, to build `imag-store` in release mode, call
`make imag-store-release`.
* `install` will install all binary crates to the default installation root (see
`man cargo-install`). To install a single module, run `make <module>-install`,
again, for example: `make imag-store-install`
* `bin`/`lib` are separate targets for either building all binaries or
libraries.
* `lib-test` runs `cargo test` for all libraries. For testing a single library,
run `make test-libimagstore` for example.
* `clean` will run `cargo clean` in every crate. Again, for cleaning a single
crate, use `make imag-store-clean` for example.
```
$> make
...
$> ls out/
imag-counter imag-link imag-notes imag-store imag-tag imag-view
```
Building all the modules may take some time, so alternatively one can build only
a specific module
by runing `$> make $module` where `$module` is one of the `imag-*` names, such
as `imag-counter`, `imag-link`, etc.
**There is currently no target for the `imag` binary itself. Please
build/install it yourself using `cargo build --manifest-path ./bin/Cargo.toml`**
### Running
To run imag, simply call `./out/imag`.
If you include the `out` directory in your `$PATH`, imag is able to find the
other imag executables. Try it out by running:
To test out a single module, simply using `cargo run -- <options>` in the
respective directory will do the trick. For using it "normally", install the
binaries as described above, as well as the imag-binary:
```
$> make install
$> cargo install --path ./bin
```
The installation root of the binaries (a.k.a. where they are installed to), may
not yet be in your $PATH. To see, where this installation root is, check out
`man cargo-install`. To change the $PATH in bash:
```bash
$> PATH=$PATH:$(pwd)/out imag --help
$> PATH=$PATH:~/.cargo/bin
$> imag --help
```
To test, simply add `--help` to one of the above commands:
```bash
$> PATH=$PATH:$(pwd)/out imag counter --help
$> imag counter --help
```
Please note that $PATH will be reset in a new shell. To make these changes
permanent, see the User Guide of your shell.
