# Start from root of gittyup repo.
mkdir -p build/release
cd build/release
cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../..
If you have Qt installed in a non-standard location, you may have to
specify the path to Qt by passing -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=<path-to-qt>
where <path-to-qt>
points to the Qt install directory that contains
bin
, lib
, etc.
