Overview
--------

Ohcount is a library for counting lines of source code.
It was originally developed at Ohloh, and is used to generate
the reports at www.openhub.net.

Ohcount supports multiple languages within a single file: for example,
a complex HTML document might include regions of both CSS and JavaScript.

Ohcount has two main components: a detector which determines the primary
language family used by a particular source file, and a parser which
provides a line-by-line breakdown of the contents of a source file.

Ohcount includes a command line tool that allows you to count individual
files or whole directory trees. It also allows you to find source code
files by language family, or to create a detailed annotation of an
individual source file.

Ohcount includes a Ruby binding which allows you to directly access its
language detection features from a Ruby application.

System Requirements
-------------------

Ohcount is supported on  Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Other Linux
environments should also work, but your mileage may vary.

Ohcount does not support Windows.

Ohcount targets Ruby 2.2.3. The build script requires a bash shell. You
also need a C compiler to build the native extensions.

Source Code
-----------

Ohcount source code is available as a Git repository:

  git clone git://github.com/blackducksw/ohcount.git

Building Ohcount
----------------

> Last updated: 2018-05-10

You will need ragel 6.8 or higher, bash, gperf, libpcre3-dev, libmagic-dev, gcc (version 4.8.2 or greater)
and SWIG (2.0.11). To get these dependencies on Ubuntu/Debian you can run this command:

    sudo apt-get install libpcre3 libpcre3-dev libmagic-dev gperf gcc ragel swig

There is a Ruby dependency of 'test-unit' gem for Ruby 2.2.3.  You will need to run this command:
    
    gem install test-unit

Once you have them, go to the top directory of ohcount and run

```
./build
```

Using Ohcount
-------------

Once you've built ohcount, the executable program will be at bin/ohcount. The most basic use is to count lines of code in a directory tree. run:

```
bin/ohcount
```

Ohcount support several options. Run `ohcount --help` for more information.

Building Ruby and Python Libraries
----------------------------------

To build the ruby wrapper:

```
./build ruby
```

To build the python wrapper, run

```
python python/setup.py build
python python/setup.py install
```

The python wrapper is currently unsupported.
