Building

Building with CMake

The distribution main build system is configured by cmake which allows you to build the project for any platform.

Configuration

Use cmake to configure a project based on your environment and platform.

cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

Note

To use clang instead of gcc you may need to set prepend some environment variables e.g. CC=/usr/bin/clang CXX=/usr/bin/clang++ cmake -G "Unix MakeFiles"

cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake -G "Xcode" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

Building

Once the project files are generated, build as normal for your platform.

make flatc
msbuild.exe FlatBuffers.sln
