Etermal uses CMake. If you don't use it, I suggest you switch to it; honestly, it's made my life so much easier.

Note: Client applications have the choice of using bitmap fonts or vector fonts. If only using bitmap fonts, there is no need to link against freetype. Despite this, you still need to build with freetype, as the installation would be incomplete without it.

Options

In generating the build files (via cmake ...), you can specify the following options:

name	default value	description
DEV	OFF	If the library should be build with debug symbols
MAKE_DOCS	OFF	If the `docs` target should be created, to build the documentation (requires doxygen)
EXAMPLES	OFF	If the `examples` target should be created, to build the example applications (requires glfw)
TESTS	OFF	If the `tests` target should be created, to build the tests (requires glfw)
BUILD_PRIVATE_DOCS	OFF	If `MAKE_DOCS` is turned on, the `docs` target will generate documentation for the entire codebase (as opposed to just the public interface)

Targets

When the build files are created, the following targets are available:

name	description
all	Simply generates the binary `libetermal.a`
install	Does what `all` does, but also installs the binary and headers.
package	Creates a zipped file with the files installed by `install`
docs	If `MAKE_DOCS` was turned on, generates the documentation
examples	If `EXAMPLES` was turned on, builds the examples
tests	If `TESTS` was turned on, builds the tests
