This tutorial will walk you through the steps required to build and compile a simple command line tool using our build system and C++ libraries. It assumes that the reader is comfortable with the Terminal under Mac OS X and an editor.

By the end of it you will be able to build a simple tool using our CMD and FIL libraries. These are the steps:

  • Create a hello world example, compile and run it.

  • Add in the CMD and FIL libraries and compile and run the program again.

  • Understand the basics of our build system and tracing.
