Using CMake.
This project comes with a CMake build script ( that can be used on a wide range of platforms ("C" stands for cross-platform. ). If you don't have CMake installed already, you can download it for free from CMake.
To build the project, we first need to create a separate build directory:
mkdir build
Now that we've created our build directory (assuming it's created in the projct root), we can cd into it and run
cmake and pass the parent directory path to it, which is where the CMakeLists.txt file is located:
cd build
cmake ../
Once cmake is done generating makefiles, we can build the project by running make inside the build directory:
make
This will build the project.
