MarkovJunior

A C++ implementation of MarkovJunior using StormKit

Getting started

Setup

Install xmake.

Configure xmake project and setup LLVM development kit.

I suppose it can work with LLVM v19 but I recommend using v20 at least. Developement is currently done using v21.
While developement is continuously made on macosx using the --HEAD version of homebrew package llvm, compilation is also sometimes tested for linux using the AUR package llvm-git.
Maybe it works with your default compiler toolchain, I can't guarantee anything but it's a good opportunity to open an issue !

On macosx, we need to provide the path to swift-frontend for stormkit :

export PATH="/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin":$PATH

xmake f --toolchain=llvm \
        --sdk=<path_to_llvm> \
        --runtimes=c++_shared

Ask your package manager about path_to_llvm (brew --prefix llvm).

Plateform	path_to_llvm
macosx	/usr/local/opt/llvm
linux	/opt/llvm-git

Then build with xmake build. The executable can then be found at build/<platform>/<arch>/<build_mode>/markovjunior.

Execute

You can run the built executable with xmake run markovjunior.

You can provide a path to an xml model as first positional argument :

markovjunior models/NestedGrowth.xml

You can enable the --gui flag to run graphics in a window instead of terminal.

markovjunior --gui
