Cinder CMake Documentation

#Overview

This document describes how you can build libcinder and your application using cmake. This is our officially supported way to build system on most Posix platforms, while in general you can use cinder's cmake system on any platform. See the section on platform-specific notes for details.

General structure

Building libcinder with CMake

The process for building libcinder from the command line is similar to most other cmake projects you may have used, for example you can do the following from within the main cinder repo path:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j4

TODO NEXT: explain where the binary will end up
