To compile meta, you require the following:

• CMake 3.2 or higher
• A C++ compiler, with C++14 support or higher

Currently explicitly supported are clang (windows, linux and mac), gcc (linux and mac), and msvc (windows).

Any other compiler will not receive special treatment, but as long as it's supported by CMake, and has decent C++14 support should work.

It's recommended to compile meta out-of-source. Open your shell and generate the build files with cmake. The following example will use ninja as generator, but you're free to use any generator you like:

$ git clone https://github.com/Leandros/meta.git
$ cd meta
$ mkdir build
$ cmake .. -G"Ninja"
$ cmake --build .

The master branch is stable at all times, and will only be updated for new releases or bugfixes.

The dev branch is the main development branch, all pull-requests should be submitted to dev. It might be unstable at times.

Any other branch is likely a working branch, and might contain incomplete changes. Do not attempt to deploy, or file any pull-request against them.

Please read the CONTRIBUTING.

The changelog contains the changes between versions.

Read the CHANGELOG on dev for latest bleeding edge changes.

Read the CHANGELOG on master for latest stable changes.
