Building on Windows

To build AXL on Windows you can start Visual Studio by double-clicking the newly generated solution file axl.sln and build it from the IDE.

If you prefer building from the command line, run in ./build folder:

cmake --build .

By default, msbuild.exe will build the Debug configuration of the project. To override that and build for Release, use:

cmake --build . --config Release

You can pass extra command-line arguments to msbuild.exe using -- switch. For example, if you want to have a multi-core build of Release configuration, run:

cmake --build . --config Release -- /maxcpucount

Please refer to msbuild documentation for more details on command-line parameters: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164311.aspx

After AXL build is complete you will have AXL static library files in ./build/lib/$(Configuration) directory.
