Compiling

To compile and test the latest source code:

• open a command prompt or terminal in the parent folder of where you want to download NumeralConverter to

git clone https://github.com/Walkman100/NumeralConverter.git
cd NumeralConverter
# on windows:
compile
numeralconverter -h
# on linux:
make
mono numeralconverter.exe -h

• On Linux, either:
  • rename the file to numeralconverter to be able to just do mono numeralconverter -h
  • create a numeralconverter script in /usr/bin (or /bin) with the contents of:

#!/bin/sh

mono /full/path/to/numeralconverter.exe $@

then chmod 777 it and you should be able to just do numeralconverter -h from any folder.
