Run the editor:
./kilo
This project uses a Makefile to manage the build process. The Makefile includes targets for compiling the source code, cleaning up object files, and running the editor.
$(CC): This variable represents the C compiler used for building the project. By default, it expands tocc, but you can override it if you want to use a different compiler.
-Wall: Enables all the commonly used warning messages. This helps catch questionable code, such as using variables before they are initialized.-Wextraand-pedantic: These flags enable additional warnings and enforce strict compliance with the C standard. They help ensure code quality and portability.-std=c99: Specifies that the C99 standard should be used. This allows for more modern C features, such as declaring variables anywhere within a function.
Note: If your code compiles successfully, you should not see any warnings except for possible "unused variable" warnings in some cases. If you encounter other warnings, double-check your code for accuracy.
