Ring Programming Language

Building using Ubuntu Linux

This version is tested using Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Upgrade the packages

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Install Git

sudo apt-get install git

Get the source code

Using HTTP

git clone https://github.com/ring-lang/ring.git

Or using SSH

git clone git@github.com:ring-lang/ring.git

Install Libraries

cd ring/build
./installdepubuntu.sh 

Complete Build (Compiler/VM, Extensions, Tools, etc.)

This will build everything (Also, will call ring/bin/install.sh)

cd ring/build
./buildgcc.sh

Run Ring Notepad

ringpm run ringnotepad

Custom Build

Build Ring (Compiler/VM)

sudo ./buildgcc.sh

Build Ring2EXE

cd ring/tools/ring2exe
sudo ./build.sh	

Generate RingConsoleColors Source Code and Build

cd ring/extensions/ringconsolecolors
./gencode.sh
./buildgcc.sh

Build RingInternet

cd ring/extensions/ringinternet
./buildgcc.sh

Generate RingLibCurl Source Code and Build

cd ring/extensions/ringcurl
./gencode.sh
./buildgcc.sh

Generate RingZip Source Code and Build

cd ring/extensions/ringzip
./gencode.sh
./buildgcc.sh

Build RingPM

cd ring/tools/ringpm
sudo ./build.sh	

Build RingREPL

cd ring/tools/ringrepl
sudo ./build.sh	

Build Folder2QRC

cd ring/tools/folder2qrc
sudo ./build.sh	

Build RingODBC

cd ring/extensions/ringodbc
./buildgcc.sh

Build RingMySQL

cd ring/extensions/ringmysql
./buildgcc.sh

Build RingSQLite

cd ring/extensions/ringsqlite
./buildgcc.sh

Generate RingPostgreSQL Source Code and Build

cd ring/extensions/ringpostgresql
./gencode.sh
./buildgcc.sh

Build RingOpenSSL

cd ring/extensions/ringopenssl
./buildgcc.sh

Build RingMurmurHash

cd ring/extensions/ringmurmurhash
./buildgcc.sh		

Generate RingAllegro Source Code and Build

cd ring/extensions/ringallegro
./gencode.sh
./buildgcc.sh

Generate RingLibuv Source Code and Build

We will build Libuv first

cd ring/extensions/ringlibuv/libuv
sudo apt-get install libtool m4 automake
sh autogen.sh
./configure
make
make check
sudo make install

Then we will build RingLibuv

cd ring/extensions/ringlibuv
./gencode.sh
./buildgcc.sh

Generate RingFreeGLUT Source Code and Build

cd ring/extensions/ringfreeglut
./gencode.sh
./buildgcc.sh

Generate RingOpenGL Source Code and Build

The ringopengl folder contains many sub folders for different OpenGL versions Starting from OpenGL 1.1 to OpenGL 4.6

cd ring/extensions/ringopengl/opengl21
./gencode.sh
./buildgcc.sh

Generate RingQt Source Code and Build

cd ring/extensions/ringqt
./gencode_light.sh
./buildgcc_light.sh
./gencode.sh
./buildgcc.sh

To be able to call ring from any folder

cd ring/bin
sudo ./install.sh

Run Ring Notepad

ringpm run ringnotepad

More Extensions

The previous steps demonstrates building Ring and some of the Ring extensions.

There are more extensions in ring/extensions folder like RingCJSON, RingHTTPLib, etc.
