Building

Quickstart

cd libclipboard
cmake .
make -j4
sudo make install        (optional)

Building test module and samples

cd libclipboard
git submodule init
git submodule update
git clean -dxf            (if you had a previous build)
cmake .
make check -j4

To add SOVERSION to the library (i.e. libclipboard.so.1), configure with

cmake -DLIBCLIPBOARD_ADD_SOVERSION=ON

To build a shared library instead of a static library

cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON

To build the library using the stdcall calling convention

cmake -DLIBCLIPBOARD_USE_STDCALL=on

To force the build of a particular backend, choose one of

cmake -DLIBCLIPBOARD_FORCE_WIN32=on
cmake -DLIBCLIPBOARD_FORCE_X11=on
cmake -DLIBCLIPBOARD_FORCE_COCOA=on

Note: This setting has only been tested for compiling the X11 backend on Windows.

To uninstall

sudo make uninstall
