Building Timewarrior

Building Timewarrior yourself requires

• Git
• CMake (>= 3.8)
• Make
• C++ compiler with full C++17 support, currently GCC 8+ or Clang 5+
• Python 3 (for running the testsuite)
• Asciidoctor (for creating documentation)

There are two ways to retrieve the Timewarrior sources:

• Clone the repository from GitHub and update required submodules,

  git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/timewarrior
  cd timewarrior
  

• Or download the tarball with curl,

  curl -L -O https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/timewarrior/releases/download/v1.10.0/timew-1.10.0.tar.gz
  

  and expand the tarball

  tar xzf timew-1.10.0.tar.gz
  cd timew-1.10.0
  

Build Timewarrior, optionally run the test suite, and install it.

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release -S . -B _build
cmake --build _build -j
[cmake --build _build --target timew_test]
sudo cmake --install _build

This copies files into the right place (default under /usr/local), and installs man pages.

Add the optional parameter -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/your/install/location to the cmake command if you want to install Timewarrior at a location other than /usr/local. The cmake --install command may not require sudo depending on your choice of install location.
