System dependant Dependencies

Termux

pkg install libiconv
export LDFLAGS="-landroid-wordexp -liconv"

Debian/Ubuntu

sudo apt install libcurl4-openssl-dev

or

sudo apt install libcurl4-gnutls-dev

Clone Repo

git clone
git submodule update --init

(to update: git submodule update --recursive --remote)

Build

mkdir build
make ahre

tcc build

tcc does not support regex and wordexp so currently it won't work.

To build using tcc the NO_REGEX flag must be passed:

CC=tcc CFLAGS=-DAHRE_REGEX_DISABLED make

To build with no quickjs (and hence no js): CFLAGS=-DAHRE_QUICKJS_DISABLED make

Run

./build/ahre -d 'q=ahre' lite.duckduckgo.com/lite

Search something in duckduckgo

ddg  () {
    local IFS="+"
    ahre -d q="$1" lite.duckduckgo.com/lite
}

ddg something
