NEToolKit

A toolkit for NeuroEvolution featuring NEAT and rtNEAT (work in progress).

Requirements

A compiler supporting c++17 standard is a compulsory to build.

Building on Linux

You can build with the provided CMakeLists.txt file.

For example:

$ cd /path/to/repo/
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make

And you're good to go.

By default, the examples project is not built. If you want to build it, add -D"NETKIT_EXAMPLES=1" to the cmake command.

For development, you may at least enable the warnings by adding -D"NETKIT_WITH_WARNINGS=1" and even enable suggestions by adding -D"NETKIT_WITH_SUGGESTIONS=1" (only suggestions and they don't apply every times). Additionally for debugging purposes, you may add -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Debug" too.

Furthermore, the library can either be built to be dynamic / shared (default behavior) or static. To get the static version, just add -D"NETKIT_SHARED=0".

Building on Windows

You can probably use the CMakeLists.txt file too, but I didn't tested it. However, you can use the Visual Studio C++ 2017 project files.
