- $ make

+from a build directory. For example, if you want to build in the source tree,
|
|
|
+run:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ cmake .
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Then you can use make as you normally would (pass -j <count> to perform <count>
|
|
|
+jobs in parallel).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+You can also use the Ninja generator of cmake, to do that pass
|
|
|
+ -G Ninja
|
|
|
+to the cmake invocation, and then use ninja instead of make.

The source code uses in most parts a relatively uncommon indent convention,
|
|
|
namely 3 spaces with 8 space tab (see [doc/style.txt](http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=apt/apt.git;a=blob;f=doc/style.txt) for more on this).

-When you make changes and want to run them manually, make sure your

-`$LD_LIBRARY_PATH` points to the libraries you have built, e.g. via:
|
|

-

+When you make changes and want to run them manually, you can just do so. CMake
|
|
|
+automatically inserts an rpath so the binaries find the correct libraries.
