Dictu is a high-level dynamically typed, multi-paradigm, interpreted programming language. Dictu has a very familiar
C-style syntax along with taking inspiration from the family of languages surrounding it, such as Python and JavaScript.
Dictu requires that you have CMake installed and it is at least version 3.16.3.
Using CMake (at least version 3.16.3 or greater)
$ git clone -b master https://github.com/dictu-lang/Dictu.git
$ cd Dictu
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -B ./build
$ cmake --build ./build # on Windows add "--config Release" here to get a Release build
$ ./dictu # on Windows the executable is ".\Release\dictu.exe"
Using CMake presets (version 3.21.0 or greater)
$ git clone -b master https://github.com/dictu-lang/Dictu.git
$ cd Dictu
$ cmake --preset release
$ cmake --build --preset release
$ ./dictu # on Windows the executable is ".\Release\dictu.exe"
Compiling without HTTP
The HTTP class within Dictu requires cURL to be installed when building the interpreter. If you wish to
build Dictu without cURL, and in turn the HTTP class, build with the DISABLE_HTTP flag.
Without CMake presets (at least version 3.16.3 or greater)
$ git clone -b master https://github.com/dictu-lang/Dictu.git
$ cd Dictu
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DDISABLE_HTTP=1 -B ./build
$ cmake --build ./build # on Windows add "--config Release" here to get a Release build
$ ./dictu # on Windows the executable is ".\Release\dictu.exe"
CMake presets (version 3.21.0 or greater)
$ git clone -b master https://github.com/dictu-lang/Dictu.git
$ cd Dictu
$ cmake --preset release-nohttp
$ cmake --build --preset release
$ ./dictu # on Windows add "--config Release" here to get a Release build
Compiling with VCPKG
This project includes support for the VCPKG C/C++ package manager in manifest mode.
To enable VCPKG support, the VCPKG_ROOT environmental variable must be set to the path of a check-out and bootstrapped
vcpkg repository on the compiling machine, and the ENABLE_VCPKG cmake flag must be set.
Compiling with VCPKG will enable certain features of Dictu that requires external library features to be automatically pulled and compiled.
Without CMake presets (at least version 3.16.3 or greater)
$ git clone -b master https://github.com/dictu-lang/Dictu.git
$ cd Dictu
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DENABLE_VCPKG=1 -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=${VCPKG_ROOT}/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake -B ./build
$ cmake --build ./build # on Windows add "--config Release" here to get a Release build
$ ./dictu # on Windows the executable is ".\Release\dictu.exe"
CMake presets (version 3.21.0 or greater)
$ git clone -b master https://github.com/dictu-lang/Dictu.git
$ cd Dictu
$ cmake --preset release-vcpkg
$ cmake --build --preset release-vcpkg
$ ./dictu # on Windows add "--config Release" here to get a Release build
