Portable Multithreaded Burrows-Wheeler Transform + Move To Front + Run Length Encoding Compressor/Decompressor

Build & Install

After git clone or downloaded and extracted zip file (assuming CMake is installed):

cd src
cmake -B build
cmake --build build
sudo cmake --install build --strip

Install part is optional, but if it's done, build dir can be deleted.

When using multi-config generators such as "Xcode" or "Visual Studio *" you need to provide an extra config argument to the build and install commands:

cmake --build build --config Release
sudo cmake --install build --strip --config Release

Important note: When building a shared library on Windows, without install part, shared lib (*.dll) needs to be copied to the same dir as *.exe file after build process.

List of possible options you can pass to the CMake generator command:

Option	Default	Description
USE_ASAN	OFF	Pass ON to build with ASAN runtime checks
BWT_NO_MTF	OFF	Pass ON to build without MTF pass
BUILD_BWT_LIBRARY	ON	Pass OFF to build a main program only (without library part)
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS	ON	Pass OFF to build a static library instead of a shared library

So, for example, if you want to build with ASAN runtime checks you can simply pass that flag to the CMake generator command:

cmake -B build -DUSE_ASAN=ON
