Building and Running from Source
Prerequisites
- Ensure you have CMake (>=3.30)
- Use a supported toolchain: MinGW or MSVC
Steps to Build and Install
1. Generate Build Files
Run CMake to configure the build system. You must specify an install location:
cmake -B build -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=./cmake-install
- This creates a
build/directory with the necessary build files. ./cmake-install/will be the location where the files are installed, feel free to change this.
2. Build the Project
cmake --build build
2. Run the Install Command
cmake --install build
Running the program
After installation, you can run the executable from the ./cmake-install directory:
./cmake-install/bin/LightShow
NOTE: If you want to use export compile commands you need to use
-DUSE_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON
