Mint interpreter

Mint is an interpreted scripting language.

Build Instructions

On Linux:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install

This will install mint as /bin/mint.

To build mint in release mode use cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ... For more details about CMake see CMake documentation.

On Windows:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build . --target ALL_BUILD
cmake --build . --target INSTALL

This will install mint as C:\mint\bin\mint.exe.

To build mint in release mode use cmake --build . --target ALL_BUILD --config Release and cmake --build . --target INSTALL --config Release.

First steps

To create a "hello world" script create a new file named helloworld.mn. Open it and write the following lines:

#!/bin/mint

print {
    'hello world !\n'
}

You can then run mint helloworld.mn.
