passwdgen

a rudimentary random string password generator

For demo purposes only

Build

Bare Bones

mkdir build
g++ -o build/passwdgen ./passwdgen.cpp

From CMAKE

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

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

Testing

To run the tests:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
ctest

or directly:

./tests/passwdgen_test

Makefile

Now supports standard targets via Makefile:

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)
