Build Process

0. Download this repository
1. cmake -B build -GNinja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug . ¹
2. cd build
3. ninja or your preferred build command ¹

Testing

Part of the build process is compiling tests. These are stored in the test directory and are mostly useful for checking internal behaviors.

Footnotes

1. I recommend using ninja for its "parallel by default" approach. However, any build system cmake understands should be fine. Just change -GNinja to your preference. ↩ ↩²
