Readline
Readline provides a Raku interface to libreadline.
Installation
Please make sure that libreadline is installed beforehand, the tests will fail
otherwise. If libreadline is installed but the tests still fail, please note
that the Raku package searches a given set of directories for
libreadline.{so,dynlib}.* files, otherwise it defaults to v7. If your
libreadline installation isn't on any of these paths, or requires non-standard
setup, please file an issue.
For those of you on Linux Debian and Linux-alike systems, you should be able to
get the latest version with this CLI invocation:
$ sudo apt-get install libreadline7
(I'd prefer to use LibraryCheck, but it fails inside the 'is native()' method
call.)
On macOS, use Hombrew or MacPorts to install readline. If you installed
Rakudo-Star with Homebrew after Sept. 1 it should already be there.
If not you can install just Readline
brew install readline
or update your rakudo-star install.
brew upgrade rakudo-star
Using zef (a module management tool bundled with Rakudo Star):
$ zef update && zef install Readline
Or alternatively installing it from a checkout of this repo with zef:
$ zef install .
Usage
See the examples/ directory in this project.
Testing
To run tests:
$ prove -e raku
