# Building and installing
## Building and installing the library
libebml is based on `cmake` and requires only a C++ compiler. This
means that the normal build process consists of the usual steps:
1. Create a build directory: `mkdir build ; cd build`
2. Generate the make file: `cmake ..`
3. Compilation: `make`
4. Installation (run this as root): `make install`
## Customizing what's build with options
By default only a static library is built.
This library supports the usual `cmake` options for specifying
installation paths (e.g. `-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/libebml`). The
following additional `cmake` options are supported:
* `-DDISABLE_PKGCONFIG=YES` — don't generate and install the
`libebml.pc` package configuration module for `pkg-config`
* `-DDISABLE_CMAKE_CONFIG=YES` — don't generate and install the
package configuration module for `cmake`. Note that building
`libmatroska` requires that the `cmake` configuration is available.
* `-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=YES` — build the shared library instead of the
static one (default: no)
