Course Software: ICS-46

Your computer must be able to access the internet to download these resources. Clicking a resource will typically launch its own browser window for viewing/downloading (leaving this window underneath). Downloads via the campus ethernet, DSL, and wireless connections are reasonably fast.

Main Software: Clang C++ and CLion IDE

The final CLion instructions explain how to download, install, and test the course libraries (courselib and gtestlib), which are required for most quizzes and programming assignments.

I rewrote these instructions for Fall 2016. If you find mistakes email them to me; if you are confused, post on the appropriate MessageBoard Forum.

Instructions(Windows): Cygwin Toolset (including Clang C++)
Instructions(Windows): CLion IDE     or      Command Line

Instructions(Mac):         Clang C/C++ Compilers
Instructions(Mac):         CLion IDE     or      Command Line

Debian/Ubuntu: courselib (compiled and distributed with permission by Zihan Chen: zihanc3@uci.edu)
He also advises, to put "-lpthread" as part of CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS as the gtestlib is compiled with pthread

Linux fix 2019: Download source files for gtest. Follow the instructions below (also posted by Alex Lee in message @6 on Piazza, in conjunction with TA Andrew Chio).

• download library.zip, copy contents out into ics46projects
• Go into gtestlib/src and replace the contents with this: src.zip
• run "cmake ." and then "make" in gtestlib and courselib
• go into test_all_data_types
• in CMakeLists.txt, replace "/cygdrive/c/cygwin64/bin/clang++" with "usr/bin/clang++" and "/cygdrive/c/cygwin64/bin/clang" with "usr/bin/clang" (or where ever your clang is: on linux, you can just type "whereis clang" in the shell)
• run cmake .
• in the make file, add the line
• run cmake
• in the makefile, put the line "CXXFLAGS = -lpthread" after the line "# Set environment variables for the build."
• run make <\ul>
