BUILDING
========
builds with debug print logs on stderr
meli requires rust 1.34 and rust's package manager, Cargo. Information on how
to get it on your system can be found here:
config
https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/getting-started/installation.html
With Cargo available, the project can be built with
# cargo build --release
The resulting binary will then be found under target/release/meli
You can build and run meli with one command:
# cargo run --release
While the project is in early development, meli will only be developed for the
linux kernel and respected linux distributions. Support for more UNIX-like OSes
is on the roadmap.
DEVELOPMENT
===========
Development builds can be built and/or run with
# cargo build
# cargo run 2> debug.log
The debug logs can be disabled by setting debug-assertions to false in the
development profile in Cargo.toml. In the future debug logs will be a feature.
CONFIG
======
meli by default looks for a configuration file in this location:
# $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/meli/config
testing
You can run meli with arbitrary configuration files by setting the MELI_CONFIG
environment variable to their locations, ie:
# MELI_CONFIG=./test_config cargo run 2> debug.log
TESTING
=======
How to run specific tests:
# cargo test -p {melib, ui, meli} (-- --nocapture) (--test test_name)

PROFILING
=========
# perf record -g target/debug/bin
