Easy Recommended
Prerequisites

3. CMake

Medium
Prerequisites
  • Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
  • CMake The tool used to generate build configuration.
  • C/C++ ์ปดํŒŒ์ผ๋Ÿฌ Windows needs Visual Studio (Community edition, free), macOS needs Xcode Command Line Tools, Linux needs the gcc/g++ package.
mkdir build && cd build

Creates a folder to hold the build output and moves into it.

cmake ..

Analyzes the source code and generates build configuration files (must be run inside the build folder).

make

Compiles the code based on the generated build configuration to produce an executable.

โœ… Check that an executable was created inside the build folder, then run it directly (e.g. ./build/app_name).

4. Make

Medium
Prerequisites
  • Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
  • Make Usually pre-installed on Linux/macOS. On Windows, install separately (e.g. via MSYS2 or WSL).
โš ๏ธ This is a large repository, so this method may point to an internal sub-package rather than the actual core product. Check the full README as well.
cd deps_src/minilzo

This project's files live in a subfolder, so move into it first.

make

Compiles the code based on the generated build configuration to produce an executable.

โœ… If it finishes without errors, it worked. Try running the generated executable directly.
