txtz

Short string compression

THIS IS WORK IN PROGRESS. DO NOT EXPECT ANYTHING USEFUL IN THIS REPO AT THE MOMENT.

Prerequisites

C++ compiler (GCC, Clang)
CMake 3.10 or later

Build

Linux

Ubuntu

sudo apt install g++ libboost-all-dev

git clone https://github.com/607011/txtz.git
cd txtz
git submodule update --init
git submodule update --remote --merge
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
cmake --build .

macOS

git clone https://github.com/607011/txtz.git
cd txtz
git submodule update --init
git submodule update --remote --merge
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
cmake --build .

Windows

In Visual Studio Developer Console:

git clone https://github.com/607011/txtz.git
cd txtz
git submodule update --init
git submodule update --remote --merge
md build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build . --config Release

Remarks

By default, Huffman encoding is used to build the binary tree. You can change that to Shannon-Fano encoding by setting MAPBUILDING_ALGO to shannon-fano instead huffman when calling cmake to configure the project:

cmake -DMAPBUILDING_ALGO=shannon-fano -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
