DOCUMENTATION
=============
After installing meli, see meli(1) and meli.conf(5) for documentation.
BUILDING
========
meli requires rust 1.34 and rust's package manager, Cargo. Information on how
to get it on your system can be found here:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/getting-started/installation.html
With Cargo available, the project can be built with
# make
The resulting binary will then be found under target/release/meli
Run:
# make install
to install the binary and man pages. This requires root, so I suggest you override the default paths and install it in your $HOME:
# make PREFIX=$HOME/.local install
See meli(1) and meli.conf(5) for documentation.
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
There is a debug/tracing log feature that can be enabled by using the flag
`--feature debug-tracing` after uncommenting the features in `Cargo.toml`. The logs
are printed in stderr, thus you can run meli with a redirection (i.e `2> log`)
Code style follows the default rustfmt profile.
CONFIG
======
meli by default looks for a configuration file in this location:
# $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/meli/config
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
TESTING
=======
How to run specific tests:
# cargo test -p {melib, ui, meli} (-- --nocapture) (--test test_name)
PROFILING
=========
# perf record -g target/debug/bin
# perf script | stackcollapse-perf | rust-unmangle | flamegraph > perf.svg
