Build Instructions

OMKOV coreutils uses CMake to build.
Binaries will be located in the bin directory.

Linux Build

Run CMAKE_UNIX.sh in the build directory, or

cd build
cmake ../
make

Windows Build

The ‘CMAKE_WIN32.bat’ and ‘CMAKE_WIN64.bat’ scripts in the ‘build’ directory can be used to build on Windows. Note that not all utilities are functional, and those that are, are not necessarily tested.
