Compiling the libmusicxml library

---

The libmusicxml library relies on CMake, a cross-platform, open-source build system. The build folder contains the project description and is used to generate native projects.

You should run make from the build folder. Your target platform is inferred from the Makefile. It builds the libmusicxml library and various sample applications and tools.

Run make help for more details and a description of all the possible targets.

Note for Android:

The Android SDK and NDK must be installed and ndk-buildmust be available from your current PATH.

• from the build folder: run make android
• from the platforms/android folder: run makeor make help for details about the targets.

Note for JavaScript:

You must have the emscripten compiler installed and emccmust be available from your current PATH.

• from the build folder: run make js
• from the javascript/build folder: run make

Note for Linux platforms:

The procedure to compile is close to the usual 'configure' 'make' 'make install' steps. Actually, you can simply do the following: > cd /your_path_to_the_guidolib_project/build > make > sudo make install

Note for Windows platforms:

The CMake project description is "Visual Studio" oriented. Using MingW may require some adaptation of the CMakeLists.txt file. You can benefit of the standard command line tools (make) by installing MSYS of MSYS2.
