UCC

This was built for the students of schools/colleges that still use TurboC++ and teach it's archaic code samples, and ask its students to use the same. In order to use this, you need a Linux/Unix based system that can run DosBox. You must have DosBox, wget and curl preinstalled on your system. It is not mandatory to run this script as a user with superuser privileges, but it is necessary for the user running the script to have access to the entirety of the required assets.

MANUAL METHOD:

To get started, create a directory anywhere on your disk, which will be your workplace. Let's call it the workspace. Add the BIN folder from this repository into your workspace. Also, inside the workspace, create four directories :

  • builds/ (this will contain the built EXE files)
  • sources/ (this will contain the C/CPP source code)
  • logs/ (this will contain the build and DosBox logs)
  • files/ (this will contain the files created through C/C++ using filestreams)
  • headers/ (this will contain your custom header files)

Now, set the complete location of the workspace, as such:

ucc --workspace /Users/udit/myProjects
SCRIPT METHOD:
These commands below will do the heavylifting for you. You can copy and paste them to your terminal directly. Input 'yes' if asked. After executing them, your workspace will be ~/UCCRoot :
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/uditkarode/ucc.git/
sudo mv ucc/ucc /bin/ucc
rm -rf ucc
mkdir UCCRoot && cd UCCRoot
ucc init
ucc --workspace .

After setting up UCC, you can compile and run your programs with a command as simple as ucc -br program.cpp!

For instructions on usage of the script, use ucc --help

In the words of Bob the Builder:

Happy Building!
