Building from Source

Unix

Build-time dependencies

• 64-bit system host
• git, cmake, C++20 compiler (GCC 11, Clang 14, MSVC)
• RAM requirements for compilation:
  • Compiling with GCC — 4GB of RAM
  • Compiling with Clang — 9GB of RAM

Use any terminal as a build environment

git clone https://github.com/netxs-group/vtm.git
cd vtm
cmake . -B bin
cmake --build bin
sudo cmake --install bin
vtm

Note: A 32-bit binary executable can only be built using cross-compilation on a 64-bit system. In order to do so make sure you have additional cross-compilation libraries installed, e.g. on Linux sudo apt install gcc-i686-linux-gnu g++-i686-linux-gnu (x86) or sudo apt install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf g++-arm-linux-gnueabihf (ARM32).

Example of cross-compilation for x86 Linux

cmake . -B bin -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="/bin/i686-linux-gnu-g++" -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-static -pthread -s"
cmake --build bin

Example of cross-compilation for ARM32 Linux

cmake . -B bin -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++" -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-static -pthread -s -Wno-psabi"
cmake --build bin

Windows

Build-time dependencies

• git, cmake, MSVC (Desktop Development with C++)

Use Developer Command Prompt as a build environment

git clone https://github.com/netxs-group/vtm.git
cd vtm
cmake . -B bin
cmake --build bin --config Release
bin\Release\vtm.exe
