Building and executing examples¶

Most code snippets of the tutorials should be standalone and runnable if the nix library and its dependencies have been installed.

Download or copy-paste the code examples into a file (here example.cpp) and build it.

MacOs¶

You need to have the c++ compiler clang installed. If you installed nix via homebrew, the library will be located in /usr/local/Cellar/

> clang++ -std=c++11 -lnix -L/usr/local/Cellar/ -O2 example.cpp -o example
> ./example

Under Linux the exact library location depends on the distribution. gcc should be able to find it in the distribution’s default folder.

> g++ -std=c++11 -lnix example.cpp -o example
> ./example
