The Desktop Connection Library (DCL) is a multi-platform library to connect to Apple Newton Devices using the Dock protocol and to manipulate NewtonOS data.

The library and sample code programs run on macOS X, Linux and Cygwin.

This release of the DCL should be compiled with CMake:

cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
cmake --build build

Tests are executed using ctest from the build directory:

ctest . -C Debug

Note that the doxygen test is marked as optional since it fails due to some documentation gaps, it can be excluded from test execution:

ctest . -C Debug -LE optional
