Building under Linux

[greenozon]

Hey! I've seen your article at codeproject, very nice stuff! I'd like to build it up on Linux Ubuntu 22.04 but seems no any steps how to do it

I've seen some artifacts in the repository

1. cmake
2. makefile

the 2nd case failed, when I tried to directly feed makefile into make:

 ~/Downloads/chess_console/source   make -f ./makefile 
g++    -c -o main.o main.cpp
g++    -c -o user_interface.o user_interface.cpp
g++    -c -o chess.o chess.cpp
g++ -Wall -std=c++11 -o ../build/lnx/chess_console main.o user_interface.o chess.o
/bin/ld: cannot open output file ../build/lnx/chess_console: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [makefile:13: chess] Error 1

the 1st case failed as well:

⎇  master  ~/Downloads/chess_console/source   cmake .
CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:13 (cmake_minimum_required):
  Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 will be removed from a future version of
  CMake.

  Update the VERSION argument <min> value or use a ...<max> suffix to tell
  CMake that the project does not need compatibility with older versions.

Please post some steps into readme regarding how to build it up under Linux!

@greenozon kindly try the steps below for building on linux

• get a copy of the repo. I can see you've done this already.
  • assuming you cloned the repo into your home directory, ~/chess_console, continue below
• cd ~/chess_console/sources
• mkdir build
• cd build
• cmake ..
• make
• then you may run the game with ./chess

enjoy! :)
