Compile offline / through proxy support
zackteo opened this issue · comments
Hello, have tried to compile vterm in my work environment at various junctures but unfortunately all my attempts have been to no avail. So I thought it is a worth a shot to try asking here.
The problem I face is due to the following: https://github.com/akermu/emacs-libvterm/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt#L74-L80
My machine is only able to access the internet behind a proxy and I am unable to fulfill Performing download step (git clone) for 'libvterm' as this access is blocked by the proxy.
I am able to download the libvterm manually but CMakeLists.txt forces the download step, is there a way to overcome this?
(For added context, I also have no access to homebrew)
Okay! I managed to resolve it
