Build Optimization

The CMake build system will, by default, create optimized native builds for your particular system type when you build the software. Using this method, the binaries created provide a better experience and all-together faster performance.

Making Portable Binaries

However, if you wish to create portable binaries that can be shared between systems, specify -DARCH=default in your CMake arguments during the build process. Note that portable binaries will have a noticable difference in performance than native binaries. For this reason, it is always best to build for your particular system if possible.
