# Building

Install dependencies (uthash, libffi) then:

```sh
meson setup builddir
meson compile -C builddir
```

Install with:

```sh
meson install -C builddir
```

You may need to run `ldconfig` or reboot to update your ld cache.

## Bytecode Format

Under the hood, Ground uses a bytecode format to store things.

## Changes from old CGround

### `extern` instruction

`extern` no longer loads a dynamic library from /usr/lib/ground, it is now used to detail a system shared library to open.

Format: `extern "libName" "symbolName" !functionName -returnType -argType...`
