ABOUT

lci is a LOLCODE interpreter written in C and is designed to be correct,
portable, fast, and precisely documented.

    * correct: Every effort has been made to test lci's conformance to the
          LOLCODE language specification. Unit tests come packaged with the lci
          source code.
    * portable: lci follows the widely ported ANSI C specification allowing it
          to compile on a broad range of systems.
    * fast: Much effort has gone into producing simple and efficient code
          whenever possible to the extent that the above points are not
          compromized.
    * precisely documented: lci uses Doxygen to generate literate code
          documentation, browsable here.

PREREQUISITES

1. You must have CMake installed (www.cmake.org). 
  a) If you're using a Linux distro with package managment CMake should be in 
    your repositories.

2. Python 2.7+ or Python 2.x with the argparse module installed.

INSTALLATION: THE EASY WAY ON LINUX OR MAC OSX

1. run the script install.py. Note that

  $ ./install.py -h

  will display a list of relavent install options. For
  example, if I wanted to install lci to the directory
  "/home/kurtis/opt" I would run:

  $ ./install.py --prefix="/home/kurtis/opt"
  

INSTALLATION: THE MORE INVOLVED WAY ON LINUX OR MAC OSX

1. Configure lci using CMake. This can be as simple as opening up the terminal, 
  navigating to the directory containing lci and typing:

  $ cmake .

  You can also provide any other argument to the CMake configuration process
  you'd like. To enable Memory testing turn the PERFORM_MEM_TESTS option on
  like so:

  $ cmake -DPERFORM_MEM_TESTS:BOOL=ON .

  You can also use the "ccmake" command or the CMake GUI if you prefer.
  See the cmake documentation for more details.

2. Build the project:

  $ make

3. Install
   
  $ make install

4. (Optional) Build documentation:

  $ make doc

5. (Optional) Run tests:

  $ ctest

INSTALTION ON WINDOWS

1. TODO Could some one please provide an example of using CMake to generate
a visual studio project and build the project?
