textencode is a library for base-n and nix string encoding as well as a CLI to perform the translations.
For a standard release build, you want something like:
./bootstrap.sh
./configure --disable-tests
make
make install
For a test / debug build, a typical configuration is
./bootstrap.sh
./configure --enable-tests --enable-coverage --enable-valgrind
make
make check
make check-valgrind
make check-code-coverage
