# Getting Started
## Prerequisites
| Tool | Minimum | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| C++ compiler (GCC or Clang) | C++17 | GCC 11+ or Clang 14+ recommended |
| CMake | 3.20 | |
| Boost headers | 1.70 | Only for `-DWITH_CGAL_TESTS=ON` or `-DWITH_CGAL=ON` |
| Wayland/X11 dev headers | — | Only for `-DWITH_CGAL=ON` (viewer) |
All other dependencies (Eigen 3.4, CGAL 6.1.1, libigl 2.6, GLFW 3.4, GTest 1.14)
are bundled as tarballs in `code/deps/tarballs/` and extracted automatically at CMake
configure time. No internet access is required at build time (except GTest, fetched via
`FetchContent` from GitHub).
Install Boost on your system:
```bash
# Ubuntu / Debian
apt install libboost-dev
# macOS
brew install boost
```
---
## Clone
```bash
git clone https://codeberg.org/TMoussa/ConformalLabpp
cd ConformalLabpp
```
---
## Build modes
Three modes with increasing dependencies:
### Mode 1 — Fast tests (default, no system dependencies)
Pure-math tests: Clausen functions, hyper-ideal geometry, matrix utilities.
```bash
cmake -S code -B build
cmake --build build --target conformallab_tests -j$(nproc)
ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure
```
Expected: **36 tests pass**.
### Mode 2 — CGAL tests, headless (recommended for CI and development)
Full CGAL test suite. Requires Boost headers only — no display, no Wayland, no GLFW.
```bash
cmake -S code -B build -DWITH_CGAL_TESTS=ON
cmake --build build --target conformallab_cgal_tests -j$(nproc)
ctest --test-dir build -R "^cgal\." --output-on-failure
```
Expected: **158 tests pass, 2 skipped** (intentional stubs for Phase 9 items).
### Mode 3 — Full local build (CLI app + interactive viewer)
Requires Wayland or X11 development packages (`wayland-scanner`, `libx11-dev`, etc.).
Automatically enables the viewer library (GLFW + libigl).
```bash
cmake -S code -B build -DWITH_CGAL=ON
cmake --build build -j$(nproc)
```
> **Note:** `-DWITH_CGAL=ON` implies `-DWITH_VIEWER=ON`. Do not use this in headless
> environments — it will fail with `Failed to find wayland-scanner`.
---
## Running a single test
```bash
# By GTest filter (fastest, full output)
./build/conformallab_cgal_tests --gtest_filter="NewtonSolver*"
./build/conformallab_tests --gtest_filter="Clausen*"
# By CTest regex
ctest --test-dir build -R "cgal.NewtonSolver" --output-on-failure
```
All CGAL tests have the prefix `cgal.` in CTest (set in `tests/cgal/CMakeLists.txt`
via `TEST_PREFIX "cgal."`).
---
## First run — CLI app
After a full build (`-DWITH_CGAL=ON`):
```bash
# Euclidean conformal layout
./bin/conformallab_core -i input.off -g euclidean -o layout.off -j result.json
# Spherical layout
./bin/conformallab_core -i input.off -g spherical -o sphere.off
# Hyperbolic layout (HyperIdeal)
./bin/conformallab_core -i input.off -g hyper_ideal -o hyperbolic.off
# Show input mesh in interactive viewer
./bin/conformallab_core -i input.off -s
# All options
./bin/conformallab_core --help
```
## Example programs
```bash
./build/examples/example_layout [input.off] [layout.off] [result.json]
./build/examples/example_euclidean [input.off] [output.off]
./build/examples/example_hyper_ideal [input.off] [output.off]
./build/examples/example_viewer [input.off] # interactive, requires WITH_VIEWER
```
`example_layout.cpp` is the best starting point — it shows the complete pipeline in ~120 lines.
---
## Known issues
### macOS Finder duplicates
macOS Finder sometimes creates duplicate files named `foo 2.hpp` when copying
the repository. These cause confusing compile errors ("redefinition of …").
**Fix (run once from the repo root):**
```bash
find code/include -name "* 2.*" -delete
find code/include -name "*\ 2.*" -delete
```
Files without a ` 2` suffix are always canonical — the duplicates are safe to delete.
### First build is slow
The first CMake configure extracts four tarballs (Eigen 3.4, CGAL 6.1.1,
libigl 2.6, GLFW 3.4) and downloads GTest via `FetchContent`.
Allow **3090 seconds** for the first configure. Subsequent builds are fast
(< 10 s incremental).

## Rebuilding the CI Docker image
The CI runner is a self-hosted Raspberry Pi (ARM64). After changes to
`.gitea/docker/Dockerfile.ci-cpp`:
```bash
docker buildx build \
--platform linux/arm64 \
-f .gitea/docker/Dockerfile.ci-cpp \
-t git.eulernest.eu/conformallab/ci-cpp:latest \
--push \
.gitea/docker/
```
