How to build Fafnir

The toolset installed by Fafnir is required to build Fafnir. Also, LLVM that supports C++17 must be used (e.g. the release binaries of Fafnir are built with the LLVM Snapshot Build). CMake is also required.

• Build 64bit version

cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -T <installed Fafnir toolset> -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<path to install>
cmake --build . --config Release --target INSTALL

• Build 32bit version

cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" -T <installed Fafnir toolset> -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<path to install>
cmake --build . --config Release --target INSTALL
