TuringSimu

A turing simulator created as part of the cpp course at the DHBW Stuttgart Campus Horb

Building

A note for Linux

The makefiles we provide were proven to work on a machine running Ubuntu 18.10 with latest gcc + build-essential installed. Working Qt versions were 4.8 and 5.12.

A note for Visual Studio

When checking out this repository it is possible that the starting project is TuringSimu. Since that project ultimately compiles into a static library VS cannot start it. Thus it is necessary to change the starting project to TuringSimuCLI by right-clicking on it and setting it as such.

TuringSimuTests

NOTE: This part is only required if you want to use Visual Studio. On Linux you may simply install boost and use the provided makefile.

To build the "TuringSimuTests"-project the following enviornment variables must be set:

  • BOOST_ROOT_DIR

      The directory which contains the Boost.org (header) files, for example *C:\boost\boost_1_67_0*

  • BOOST_LIB_DIR

      The directory which contains the Boost.org binarys, for example *C:\boost\boost_1_67_0\stage\lib*

TuringsSimuQtUi

To build the "TuringSimuQtUI"-project choose one of the following methods:

  • Qt Creator (recommended)

      Open the *TuringSimuQtUi.pro*-file located at *..\TuringSimu\TuringSimuQtUI* and build using Qt Creator

  • Visual Studio + Qt Visual Studio Tools (a bit tricky)

      Install the *Qt Visual Studio Tools*. Open the solution within Visual Studio. 
  Rightclick the "TuringSImuQtUI"-project and choose "Qt project settings". 
  In the upcomming dialog select the version of Qt you would like to use (default name:"msvc2017")
  within the "Propeties"-tab and make sure that you check the following modules within the "Qt Modules"-tab:
  - Core
  - GUI
  - Widgets

One small benefit of using the more complex Visual Studio approach is the fact that libarys are used (whereas the .pro-approach compiles everything into one large exe).

TuringSimuCLI

To build this project either use Visual Studio 17 and build the corresponding project or use the makefile on any linux based system.
