Build

Alternative 1: End-to-End build:

run wins_build.bat or linux_build.sh

$./build_wins.bat  
or
$chmod +x build_linux.sh  
$./build_linux.sh

Binary is found in build/install

Alternative 2: Generate project artifacts

• Open CMAKE GUI:
  • Where is source code: BlockChain4Fun
  • Where to build the binary: BlockChain4Fun/build
• Configure compiler/IDE of your choice
• Set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to BlockChain4Fun/build
• Generate project artifacts
• Open project and choose "install" target to deploy .DLL to running folder (build/install)
