CMake

The Xbase library is built using the CMake build manager. Cmake provides the architecture for building cross platform projects with a unified build system. If you are not familiar with CMake, you can familiarize yourself with it at https://cmake.org

To modify the XBase64 compile options take the following steps:


1) Identify which platform you want to build and identify the correct build folder
/xbase64-4.x.x/build/borland5.5Older free Borland 5.5 32 bit Windows compiler
/xbase64-4.x.x/build/linux32Linux 32 bit build folder
/xbase64-4.x.x/build/linux64Linux 64 bit build folder
/xbase64-4.x.x/build/win32vsWindows 32 bit Visual Studio folder
/xbase64-4.x.x/build/win64vsWindows 64 bit Visual Studio folder
/xbase64-4.x.x/build/mac64MAC 64 but folder



2) Navigate to the appropriate folder identified in step 1. Once you are in the correct folder, verify there is a CmakeLists.txt file. That file is the main librbary build configuration file.

3) Select one if the following methods to update the config options
For Windows users, use program cmake-gui.exe
For Unix/Linux/Mac users, use program cmake-gui
For Unix command line, use program "ccmake ."
Or manually edit the CmakeLists.txt file with your favorite text editor






Debug Support (Option: XB_DEBUG_SUPPORT)

The following methods are included from the library when the XB_DEBUG_OPTION is turned on. They are mainly used for library debugging purposes and can be safely left turned off.
