Student Bank

A GTK4 student-accounts management system, fused from the ideas of two older CLI projects (cli_atm_system and cli_student_database_management_system). Students hold bank accounts whose type is tied to their profile: Department, Erasmus, or Notes/Study fund — with department-gated access control and audit logging.

Features

• Student records - add, edit, delete, and search students (AM, name, surname, department, Erasmus flag, notes).
• Profile-based accounts - each student owns accounts typed by their department, Erasmus status, or study notes.
• Banking - PIN-protected login per account, deposit, withdraw, balance.
• Access control - admin and per-department users gate write operations.
• Persistence & backups - binary data file with automatic timestamped backups and rotation.
• Audit logging - every sensitive operation is written to student_bank.log.
• Dashboard - live totals for students, accounts, and balances.

Requirements

• CMake 3.16+ and a C99 compiler (GCC/Clang).
• GTK4 development headers (platform-specific, see below).

Installation

Linux (Fedora / RHEL)

sudo dnf install gtk4-devel cmake gcc
cmake -B build && cmake --build build
ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure

Linux (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt install libgtk-4-dev cmake gcc
cmake -B build && cmake --build build
ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure

macOS

brew install gtk4 cmake
cmake -B build && cmake --build build
ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure

Windows

1. Install MSYS2 and open its UCRT64 shell.

2. Install the required packages:

   pacman -S mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-gtk4 \
             mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-cmake \
             mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-gcc

3. Build and test:

   cmake -B build && cmake --build build
   ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure

4. Run the app:

   ./build/student_bank.exe

Run

./build/student_bank

Data is stored in student_bank.dat, logs in student_bank.log, and backups in backups/.
