This document provides a quick reference for the minimal configuration, build and installation of MLT.
See the docs/ directory for usage details.
See the website for development details and a contributing guide.
Configuration is triggered by running:
cmake .More information on usage is found by viewing CMakeLists.txt and the cmake man page.
Once configured, it should be sufficient to run:
cmake --build .to compile the system. Alternatively, you can run cmake with -G Ninja and use ninja to compile.
