recode-cpp is a test/sample app that's written in C++ and uses encoding_rs.

It expects encoding_rs and GSL to have been checked out to adjacent directories.

Please see the file named COPYRIGHT.

Git, GNU Make and a version of GCC recent enough to accept -std=c++14 are assumed to be already installed.

###0. Install Rust (including Cargo) if you haven't already

See the Rust download page. For Linux and OS X, this means:

curl -sSf https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup.sh | sh

###1. Clone encoding_rs

git clone https://github.com/hsivonen/encoding_rs.git

###2. Enable staticlib support for encoding_rs

Edit encoding_rs/Cargo.toml and uncomment the line

# crate-type = ["rlib", "staticlib"]

(The line is commented out due to a rustfmt bug.)

###3. Clone GSL

git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/GSL.git

###4. Clone recode-cpp

git clone https://github.com/hsivonen/recode-cpp.git

###5. Build recode-cpp

cd recode-cpp
make

###6. Run it

./recode_cpp --help
