Genesis is the compiler and run-time interpreter/daemon for ColdC, and is produced by the Cold Project. You can learn more about helping to support the Cold Project at https://the-cold-dark.github.io/

Release information can be found in doc/CHANGES.

Genesis should compile on most ANSI/ISO C compilers. You will need CMake, bison and either ndbm or gdbm's ndbm emulation.

To build:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

CMake contains generators for other build systems as well and they can be used instead of make. In particular, ninja works well on Unix systems and is faster than using make:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -GNinja
ninja

You will need an ndbm implementation in Win32. You will then have to figure out the remaining details and let us know. :)
