Glotzilla uses CMake to generate platform independent makefiles.

CMake with gcc

For any unix-like OS, including linux and mac OS, use the following commands to build.

In-source build

Build the libraries in the source directory: 

$ cd Glotzilla
$ cmake .
$ make
$ make install

Out-of-source build

Build the libraries in a directory called Glotzilla-build: 

$ ls
    Glotzilla
$ mkdir Glotzilla-build
$ cd Glotzilla-build
$ cmake ../Glotzilla
$ make
$ make install

Note that Glotzilla source directory lives on the same level as Glotzilla/build in this example. Otherwise cmake $PATH2GLOTZSOURCE command must be modified.

Custom build with ccmake

You can customize your build by using the ccmake GUI rather than cmake. 

$ cd Glotzilla
$ ccmake .
  # ENTER GUI MODE 
  # SET OPTIONS 
  # EXIT GUI MODE 
$ make
$ make install

In gui mode, first press "c" to configure. Then edit options by either pushing ENTER (for ON/OFF options) or typing a string (for STRING options). When done, push "c" to reconfigure and then push "g" to generate.

CMake with XCode

To generate an XCode project rather than a makefile, use the following flag when running cmake: 

$ cmake -G Xcode

Open the project and click "build" to compile.

Common Problems

Glotzilla did not build correctly

Make sure that you have all of the Supporting Software installed.
