moviedb

A dataset viewer over a movielens database. A compatible dataset can be found here.

Data preparation

Extract the database to data/ .

Execution

To compile and execute the program, run this in a Unix shell:

$ sh run.sh

If already compiled, to execute directly the program in a Unix shell, run:

$ ./build/release/moviedb

Compilation

To just compile the program, run:

$ sh build.sh release

You can also run make manually:

$ make

Project Structure

In the src/ directory, there are source code (.c) and include (.h) files.

In the src/test/ directory, there are test source codes.

To the data/ directory, the database must be decompressed.

In the build/, there are compilation artefacts, liike object files (.o) and executables. This directory is automatically generated by make.

The shell script build.sh is responsible of automatizing the compilation.

The shell script run.sh is responsável of automatizing the process of compile + run.

The shell script watch.sh watches for changes in source code and runs a command (by default sh watch.sh sh build.sh release). It is NOT NECESSARY to use this script, it is intended to help development only.

Finally, Makefile specifies build rules for make, as always.

Note

The project does not automatize build for Windows using native Windows tools. Things like MinGw or WSL should be possible though.
