+# ptprnt
+
+This is a rewrite of [ptouch-print](https://git.familie-radermacher.ch/linux/ptouch-print.git) as a toy project for my personal amusement. The currently available solutions are good enough for generating labels, but i wanted to explore libusb and maybe improve the functionality of my label printer. All credits for reverse engineering the USB commands to Dominic Rademacher.
+
+## Dependencies
+This project requires:
+- spdlog
+- libusb
+- pango
+- cairo
+- meson
+- gtest (optional, for testing, will be installed by meson)
+- gcov (optional, for coverage reports)
+
+## Build
+
+Clone the repository and simply let meson do the heavy lifting.
+
+```bash
+meson setup builddir 
+```
+If you want to generate coverage reports, enable them via the command line switch
+```bash 
+meson setup builddir -Db_coverage=true
+```
+
+Rebuild by simply invoking ninja
+```bash
+ninja -C builddir
+```
+
+## Run
+Run the binary from your builddir
+```bash 
+builddir/ptprnt
+```
+
+## Test
+Testing is done via gtest. To run your test simply invoke ninja with the "test" target.
+```bash
+ninja -C builddir test   
+```
+
+Coverage reports can be generated via gcov if you enabled them (see Build section) by building the `coverage-text` target.
