cd BrainfuckToIL
./install-tool.ps1

If you get an error attempting to run the Powershell script, you can instead manually run the commands in install-tool.ps1.

Usage

Compile a Brainfuck file to a .NET executable:

# Compile source file
bftoil foo.bf

# Run output executable
./foo.exe

You can alternatively specify whether to output a DLL or exe, of which exe is the default:

# Output an exe
bftoil bar.bf -o exe

# Output a DLL
bftoil bar.bf -o dll

You can also explicitly specify the output file or directory:

# Output to baz.exe
bftoil baz.bf baz.exe

# Output to a subdirectory
bftoil baz.bf output/

Run a Brainfuck file without having to compile to an executable file first:

bftoil run qux.bf

See the CLI docs for a more extensive overview of commands.
