### Build Instructions
### Build Instructions
In order to ease the process of running on different platforms, we will be using [CMake](http://www.cmake.org/) for our assignments. You will need a CMake installation of version 2.8+ to build the code for this assignment. It should also be relatively easy to build the assignment and work locally on your OSX or 64-bit version of Linux. Building on Windows is in beta support, and the project can be run by SSH'ing through Andrew Linux using MobaXterm. Building on ARM (e.g. Raspberry Pi, some Chromebooks) is currently not supported.

#### VSCode Build Instructions (All Platforms)
We recommend using [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/download) on all platforms. Once you install CMake and VSCode, you will also need to install the C/C++ extension within VSCode.
The build and launch data is contained within the `.vscode` directory. Select the folder for your compiler and move `launch.json` and `tasks.json` up one level into the `.vscode` directory. To set commandline arguments, go to `launch.json` and add them within `args`. For example, to run the program with test 1, you would add `./basic/test1.svg`. You can build using <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>B</kbd> and debug using <kbd>F5</kbd>. If you feel that your program is running slowly, you can also change the build mode to `Release` from `Debug`.

These steps (1) create an out-of-source build directory, (2) configure the project using CMake, and (3) compile the project. If all goes well, you should see an executable `drawsvg` in the build directory. As you work, simply typing `make` in the build directory will recompile the project.

#### Windows Build Instructions
#### Windows Build Instructions using Visual Studio
We have a beta build support for Windows systems. You need to install the latest version of [CMake](http://www.cmake.org/) and install [Visual Studio Community 2017](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/). After installing these programs, you can run `runcmake_win.bat` by double-clicking on it. This should create a `build` directory with a Visual Studio solution file in it named `drawsvg.sln`. You can double-click this file to open the solution in Visual Studio.
