# Compiling ## 1. CMake ### 1.1. Example In libdumb project root, run: ``` mkdir -p build cd build cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=ON -DBUILD_ALLEGRO4:BOOL=ON .. make make install ``` ### 1.2. Steps 1. Create a new temporary build directory and cd into it 2. Run libdumb cmake file with cmake (eg. `cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/install/dir -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release path/to/dumb/cmake/dir`). 3. Run make (eg. just `make` or `mingw32-make` or something). 4. If needed, run make install. ### 1.3. Flags * `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` sets the installation path prefix. * `CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE` chooses the build type: `Release`, `Debug`, `RelWithDebInfo`, or `MinSizeRel`. Debug libraries will be named `libdumbd`, release libraries `libdumb`. Default is `Release`. * `BUILD_SHARED_LIBS` selects whether cmake should build a dynamic (`ON`) or static (`OFF`) library. Default is `OFF`. * `BUILD_ALLEGRO4` enables (`ON`) or disables (`OFF`) the optional Allegro 4 support. This requires Allegro 4 installed on the system. Default is `ON`. * `BUILD_EXAMPLES` selects example binaries. These example binaries require argtable2 and SDL2 libraries. Default is `ON`. * You may also need to tell cmake what kind of makefiles to create with the "-G" flag. Eg. for MSYS one would say something like `cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" .`. ## 2.
