INSTALLATION

Requires the make function for compilation

COMPILATION

Use the make command in the console

EXECUTION

Directly open the created executable or use the command :

make run

Then follow the instructions displayed on the screen: give the name of the file with its path

It's also possible to directly drag the file to be compressed onto the executable

MISCELLANEOUS

• The file table.txt associated with the compressed file is required for the decompression, it must be in the same folder as the executable.
• The file to be compressed must not have the name "table.txt".
• An empty file will not be compressed.
• If there are few identical characters in the file to be compressed (or only one character) the compression will be inefficient.
• To generate the doxygen documentation do :

make doc

To remove the .o files you can do the following

Windows

make cleanwin

Linux

make cleanlinux
