Building with CMake

Some portions of this repository are portable beyond iOS and can be built using CMake.

Dependencies

You need:

• A C++ compiler
• cmake

macOS

You need Xcode, which you can get from the Mac App Store.

You can get other development tools via homebrew. Adjust as needed for other package managers.

brew install cmake

Ubuntu

Ubuntu Trusty includes CMake 2.8.12 which should be sufficient. Newer versions are fine too.

sudo apt-get install cmake

Windows

An easy way to get development tools is via Chocolatey.

Unfortunately, the cmake.install package is semi-broken, so use the portable version.

choco install cmake.portable

Setup

CMake builds out-of source, so create a separate build directory for the target you want to work on.

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

Testing

Once CMake has run once, you can just run make repeatedly and it will regenerate Makefiles as needed.

To build everything and run tests:

make -j all test
