learnuv
Learn uv for fun and profit, a self guided workshop to the library that powers Node.js.
Before You Start
Read the learnuv gitbook which explains some libuv and related C language
concepts that will help you complete the exercises.
Installation
Requires Python 2.6 or 2.7 to be installed.
If python is not in your path set the environment variable PYTHON to its
location. For example on Windows: set PYTHON=C:\Python27\python.exe
git clone https://github.com/thlorenz/learnuv && cd learnuv
npm install
Getting Started
./learnuv help
Building
learnuv comes with build commands that you can use instead of the manual steps explained further below.
- ./learnuv ninja
Compile your sources with ninja, stored inside./out/Debug - ./learnuv make
Compile your sources with make, stored inside./out/Debug - ./learnuv xcode
Generate a learnuv Xcode project, named./learnuv.xcodeproj
Windows Caveats
Ninja and Make do not work on windows except via cygwin.
Ninja
Highly recommended since it builds faster than any of the other options, so get ninja
and do:
./gyp_learnuv.py -f ninja
ninja -C out/Debug
./out/Debug/01_system_info
Make
Works on Linux and OSX.
./gyp_learnuv.py -f make
make -C out
./out/Debug/01_system_info
Xcode
Works on OSX only. Highly recommended to ease debugging and code navigation.
./gyp_learnuv.py -f xcode
open learnuv.xcodeproj
Visual Studio
Works on Windows only. TODO need to adapt vcbuild.bat.
Running
./learnuv
