Build Options

There are several options you can specify when you create the Makefiles/Project Files with cmake. You can see some, but not all, if you use ccmake or the windows equivalent cmake-gui. The ones listed are mostly selfexplanatory, so lets focus her on the ones not listed. The settings in the listing below are the opposite of the default.

• -DMONOLITHIC_BUILD=ON : This will build libfreerdp and libwinpr into one single dll each (requires cmake >= 2.8.8)
• -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF : This together with MONOLITHIC_BUILD will build one large single executable
• -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Debug : Leave this empty or set it to Release for (optimized) Release build
• -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=i386 : (Mac only) Build 32 bit executables
• -DWITH_SSE2_TARGET : Compile complete code sse2 optimized (-msse2)
• -DWITH_SSE2=OFF : Disable support for sse2 optimized codecs (nsc, rfx) detection is done at runtime
• -DWITH_NEON=OFF : Disable support neon optimized codecs (rfx) detection is done at runtime
• -DWITH_THIRD_PARTY=ON : Enable builing of third-party code located in third-party
• -DWITH_JPEG=OFF : Disable jpeg codec
• -DWITH_X11=OFF : When OFF, don't link against X11 (useful when redistributing library files)
• -DWITH_CUNIT=ON : When ON, create makefiles for building unit tests, runnable with "make test"
• -DWITH_SERVER=ON : When on, it creates make files for server libs
• -DWITH_XKBFILE=OFF : When on, keyboard detection is via xkbfile. When off, other keymaps are loaded. The default changed to ON recently. For MacOS Systems, OFF works better

There are a large number of debug options. To find these options, run the command: cmake -L . | grep WITH_DEBUG

Note that debugging needs a rework Debug-System
