Building from Source¶

ng-log can be compiled using CMake on a wide range of platforms. The typical workflow for building ng-log on a Unix-like system with GNU Make as build tool is as follows:

Clone the repository and change into source directory.

git clone https://github.com/ng-log/ng-log.git
cd ng-log

Run CMake to configure the build tree.
```
cmake -S . -B build -G "Unix Makefiles"
```
CMake provides different generators, and by default will pick the most relevant one to your environment. If you need a specific version of Visual Studio, use cmake . -G <generator-name>, and see cmake --help for the available generators. Also see -T <toolset-name>, which can be used to request the native x64 toolchain with -T host=x64.
Afterwards, generated files can be used to compile the project.
```
cmake --build build
```
Test the build software (optional).
```
cmake --build build --target test
```
Install the built files (optional).
```
cmake --build build --target install
```

Once successfully built, ng-log can be integrated into own projects.
