Building mpllibs

Building the library on Linux

• mkdir bin && cd bin && cmake .. sets the build directory up
• make builds the code
• make test runs the unit tests
• make website generates the documentation
• make install installs it on the system

Using a custom compiler

cmake should be given the following command line arguments:
cmake .. -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:STRING="<path to the compiler>"

Enabling C++11 during compilation

cmake should be given the following command line arguments:
cmake .. -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:STRING="-std=c++0x"

Using a custom Boost version

cmake should be given the following command line arguments:
cmake .. -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:STRING="-I<path to Boost includes>" -DCMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS:STRING="-L<path to Boost libs>"

Installing into a custom directory

cmake should be given the following command line arguments:
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=<path to install to>

Building the library on Windows

• Start the CMake gui.
• Set Where is the source code to the root directory of the mpllibs source code.
• Set Where to build the binaries to the directory where you would like to build the binaries to. It may be the bin directory of the mpllibs source code.
• Click on Configure and choose the compiler to use.
• Click on Generate to generate the solution file.
• Open the generated solution in your development environment and build it.
