# passwdgen
### a rudimentary random string password generator

For demo purposes only

## Build

**Bare Bones**
```bash
mkdir build
g++ -o build/passwdgen ./passwdgen.cpp
```

**From CMAKE**
```bash
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make 
```

Then, just copy the compiled binary to somewhere on your $PATH

## Testing

To run the tests:
```bash
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
ctest
```

or directly:
```bash
./tests/passwdgen_test
```



## Makefile

Now supports standard targets via `Makefile`:

```bash
make          # alias for build (Release)
make test     # build + run tests
sudo make install  # to /usr/local/bin, /lib, /include
make uninstall     # remove installed files
make clean    # rm -rf build/
```

Variables:
- `PREFIX=/opt/myprefix make install`
- `DESTDIR=/tmp/root PREFIX=/usr make install` (packaging)
