## Using CMake with GNU Make

```
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=/usr/lib \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR=/etc
make
make install
```
### Extra build flags

- -DDISABLE_AUR=ON (to disable AUR in Pamac)
- -DKDE_TRAY=ON (to build kde tray icon instead of gtk tray icon)
- -DENABLE_UPDATE_ICON=ON (to install the update desktop entry)
- -DICON_UPDATE=OFF (to disable updating the icon cache)
- -DENABLE_HAMBURGER=ON (to build with the classic hamburger menu)

## Using CMake with Ninja

```
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. \
    -GNinja
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=/usr/lib \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_SYSCONFDIR=/etc
ninja
ninja install
```
### Extra build flags

- -DDISABLE_AUR=ON (to disable AUR in Pamac)
- -DKDE_TRAY=ON (to build kde tray icon instead of gtk tray icon)
- -DENABLE_UPDATE_ICON=ON (to install the update desktop entry)
- -DICON_UPDATE=OFF (to disable updating the icon cache)
- -DENABLE_HAMBURGER=ON (to build with the classic hamburger menu)

## Using Meson with Ninja

```
mkdir build
cd build
meson \
    --prefix=/usr \
    --sysconfdir=/etc
ninja
ninja install
```
### Extra build flags

- -DDISABLE_AUR=ON (to disable AUR in Pamac)
- -DKDE_TRAY=ON (to build kde tray icon instead of gtk tray icon)
- -DENABLE_UPDATE_ICON=ON (to install the update desktop entry)
- -DICON_UPDATE=OFF (to disable updating the icon cache)
- -DENABLE_HAMBURGER=ON (to build with the classic hamburger menu)

## Using configure wrapper

The configure script is just a wrapper for CMake, in the background the build process is the same as using CMake with GNU Make.

```
./configure --prefix=/usr \
	--libdir=/usr/lib \
	--sysconfdir=/etc
make
make install
```

### Extra configure options

- --disable-aur (to disable Aur in Pamac)
- --enable-kde-tray (to build kde tray icon instead of gtk tray icon)
- --enable-update-desktop (to install the update desktop entry)
- --disable-icon-update (to disable updating the icon cache)
- --enable-hamburger (to build with the classic hamburger menu)
