The easiest way to build standardese is to download the docker image foonathan/standardese_dev and run it like so:
docker pull foonathan/standardese_dev
docker run -v "/path/to/standardese/source:/root/standardese" -v "$(pwd):/root/output" foonathan/standardese_dev
It will compile standardese as a fully statically linked binary and copy it to the current working directory.
The binary is compatible with any Linux distribution.
The build system takes care of all dependencies automatically, except for two: Boost and libclang.
It needs to have Boost.ProgramOptions and Boost.Filesystem as statically linked binaries. If they’re installed, they should be found automatically.
It also needs libclang.
If you are under a Linux system, it should find the llvm-config binary automatically and everything works,
otherwise things are a bit harder.
Read the cppast build instructions for more information, they also apply here.
Once they’re installed, compiling is a simple:
cmake /path/to/standardese/source
cmake --build . --target standardese_tool
The result is the executable tool/standardese.
