# Introduction
For building OR-Tools as a CMake standalone project, you can read the following
instructions.
This project should run on GNU/Linux, MacOS and Windows.
## C++ Project Build
1. Get the source code and change to it.
```sh
git clone https://github.com/google/or-tools.git
cd or-tools
```
2. Run CMake to configure the build tree.
```sh
cmake -S. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_DEPS=ON
```
note: To get the list of available generators (e.g. Visual Studio), use `-G`
3. Afterwards, generated files can be used to compile the project.
```sh
cmake --build build --config Release -v
```
4. Test the build software (optional).
```sh
cmake --build build --target test
```
5. Install the built files (optional).
```sh
cmake --build build --target install
```
## Testing
To list tests:
```sh
cd build
ctest -N
```
To only run C++ tests:
```sh
cd build
ctest -R "cxx_.*"
```
## Technical Notes
### Managing RPATH
Since we want to use the
[CMAKE_BINARY_DIR](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/variable/CMAKE_BINARY_DIR.html)
to generate the wrapper package (e.g. python wheel package) as well as be able
to test from the build directory. \
We need to enable:
```cmake
set(CMAKE_BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH TRUE)
```
And have a finely tailored rpath for each library.
