C Boilerplate for Application

A C boilerplate project to build a C based application.

System Requirements

• C compiler (Clang or GCC)
• GNU Make (for compilation only)

Usage

Clone the project:

$ git clone https://github.com/cwchentw/c-boilerplate-application.git myapp

Move your working directory to the root of myapp:

$ cd myapp

Modify main.c as needed. You may add or remove C source files (.c) as needed.

Compile the application:

$ make

Run the compiled program:

$ ./dist/program

Set your own remote repository:

$ git remote set-url origin https://example.com/user/project.git

Push your modification to your own repo:

$ git push

Project Configuration

Here are the parameters in Makefile:

• PROGRAM: the name of the compiled program
• C_STD: the C standard as a GCC C dialect

Note

The project assumes a Unix console environment. Windows users can install MSYS2 to obtain a decent Unix environment.

Because seldom Visual C++ users compile programs with Make, we don't include the compiler in the project.
