How to build and install libONVIF binaries
===========================================

This projects uses CMake (see www.cmake.org).

You may want to use "CommonLibs" (https://github.com/Tereius/CommonLibs) to build the dependencies (OpenSSL, Qt5).
This is especially useful for Windows hosts which lack a package manager like "apt". "CommonLibs" is an optional
dependency and CMake won't fail if "CommonLibs" is missing.

The minimal project setup for "Unix Makefiles" would be:

    cd /opt
    git clone https://github.com/Tereius/libONVIF.git
    mkdir /opt/build_libonvif
    cd /opt/build_libonvif
    cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Debug /opt/libONVIF
    make
    make install

If CMake is missing a dependency you have to set the variable (pointing to a path) manually e.g. for OpenSSL:

    cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DOpenSSL_cryptro_PATH:PATH="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so" -DOpenSSL_ssl_PATH:PATH="usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so" -DOpenSSL_include_DIR:PATH="/usr/include" /opt/libONVIF

To print the relevant variables you may want to change use:

    cd <src_path>
    cmake -LH

For Windows use a CMake generator like "NMake Makefiles" or "Visual Studio [...]" e.g.:

    cd <build_path>
    cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Debug <src_path>
    cmake --build ./
    cmake --build ./ --target install
