Building with CMake

Build

This project doesn't require any special command-line flags to build to keep things simple.

Here are the steps for building in release mode with a single-configuration generator, like the Unix Makefiles one:

cmake -S . -B build -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build

Here are the steps for building in release mode with a multi-configuration generator, like the Visual Studio ones:

cmake -S . -B build
cmake --build build --config Release

Building with MSVC

Note that MSVC by default is not standards compliant and you need to pass some flags to make it behave properly. See the flags-windows preset in the CMakePresets.json file for the flags and with what variable to provide them to CMake during configuration.

Building on Apple Silicon

CMake supports building on Apple Silicon properly since 3.20.1. Make sure you have the latest version installed.

Install

This project doesn't require any special command-line flags to install to keep things simple. As a prerequisite, the project has to be built with the above commands already.

The below commands require at least CMake 3.15 to run, because that is the version in which Install a Project was added.

Here is the command for installing the release mode artifacts with a single-configuration generator, like the Unix Makefiles one:

cmake --install build

Here is the command for installing the release mode artifacts with a multi-configuration generator, like the Visual Studio ones:

cmake --install build --config Release
