JS-CMP is a transpiler that converts JavaScript code into C++ code, and then compiles the generated C++ code into a binary. It enables JavaScript developers to leverage the performance of C++ by converting their JavaScript codebases into optimized executables. The project is written in C++ and uses Boost libraries.

Ensure that you have git, cmake and g++ or another C++ compiler installed on your system.

git clone https://github.com/JS-CMP/JS-CMP.git

cd JS-CMP

git submodule update --init --recursive

Debian-based:

sudo apt install libboost-all-dev doxygen libicu-dev

Arch-based:

sudo pacman -S boost doxygen icu

Fedora:

sudo dnf install boost-devel doxygen libicu-devel

brew install boost doxygen icu4c

icu4c may need to be linked manually if not automatically detected by CMake:

brew link --force icu4c

cmake . && make

doxygen Doxyfile

To transpile a JavaScript file and execute the resulting binary:

./js_cmp <input-file> && ./<output-file>

JS-CMP currently supports Linux and macOS platforms. While it may be possible to build on Windows using tools like WSL or Cygwin, official support and testing have not been provided for Windows environments. Contributions for Windows compatibility are welcome.
