Converting gemini.c to an Executable

This guide explains how to compile gemini.c into an executable and install it in your local/bin directory.

Prerequisites:

• C Compiler: You need a C compiler like GCC.
• Libjson: Download and install the libjson library. You can find it at https://github.com/json-c/json-c.
• Libcurl: Download and install the libcurl library. You can find it at https://curl.se/.
• glow

1. Compile with libjson:

   gcc gemini.c -o gemini -I/path/to/libjson/include -L/path/to/libjson/lib -ljson -lcurl

   • Replace /path/to/libjson/include with the actual path to the libjson include directory.
   • Replace /path/to/libjson/lib with the actual path to the libjson lib directory.

2. Copy to local/bin:

   cp gemini /local/bin

3. For Better Text Display

   1. Fish Shell

   Create or edit the function:

   nano ~/.config/fish/functions/gemini.fish   

   Add the following code:

   function gemini
       command gemini $argv | glow
   end

   Save and exit, then reload the functions:

   functions --no-reload

   2. Bash

   Open your Bash configuration file (.bashrc or .bash_profile):

   nano ~/.bashrc

   or

   nano ~/.bash_profile

   Add the following function:

   gemini() {
       command gemini "$@" | glow
   }

   Save and exit, then apply the changes:

   source ~/.bashrc   # or source ~/.bash_profile

   3. Zsh

   Open your Zsh configuration file (.zshrc):

   nano ~/.zshrc

   Add the following function:

   gemini() {
       command gemini "$@" | glow
   }

   Save and exit, then apply the changes:

   source ~/.zshrc

Important:

• You may need to adjust the paths to libjson and libcurl depending on where you installed them.
• If you encounter errors during compilation, ensure you have correctly configured the paths and installed the necessary libraries.

Now you should have a gemini executable in your local/bin directory, ready to use.
