Running the Application

The application is runnable per environment. Simply use the included makefile to clean, recompile all or recompile libraries. Note: The application requires $LINES and $COLUMNS to be available to the program. In your terminal, run:

export LINES=$LINES; export COLUMNS=$COLUMNS
make clean && make all
./main.out h # Displays the help menu
./main.out g # Prints raindrops using a random string

Using make:

• make clean, cleans all .o, .a and program generated files created during the compile process.
• make all, compiles all libraries and links them to the implementer (main.c).
• make libraries, compiles all libraries but doesn't link them, this is useful for debugging purposes. Otherwise, in typical use, simply call make all.

Chaining commands:

• The usual double-ampersand (&&) used in bash allows chaining makefile commands; make clean && make all
