How to Build

how to build

linq-cpp is written to be fully compliant with the C++11 standard and cross-platform. It has no dependencies outside of the C++11 standard library.

linq-cpp is configured to build using CMake.

linq-cpp is built automatically by Travis CI.

Currently, Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop is being used to build linq-cpp, but any compiler compliant with the C++11 standard should work.
