CLI Reddit client written in C. Oh, crossplatform too!
Current required libraries are libcurl and libncursesw (Wide-character version of libncurses). The project itself comprises a library called libreddit and a program called creddit.
To do a normal compilation, run the two commands:
make and
make install
Note: 'make install' will need to be run as root to install to the root directory.
If you would like to compile libreddit on its own as a shared library, you can
run make libreddit. The resulting shared library will be
./build/libreddit.so. You can also install the library separately via make libreddit_install. To use the library, include "reddit.h" and link against
libreddit.so.
To see other documented compilation options, read the top comments in ./Makefile.
