This documentation explains how to compile Unicorn with CMake on Windows or *nix.
Requirements:
- Windows: MicroSoft Visual Studio(>=2013).
- *nix: GNU gcc or clang to generate dynamic source files.
Get CMake for free from http://www.cmake.org.
[1] To build Unicorn using Nmake of Windows SDK, do:
mkdir build
cd build
..\nmake.bat
After this, find the samples test*.exe, unicorn.lib & unicorn.dll in the same directory.
-
To build Unicorn using Visual Studio, choose the generator accordingly to the version of Visual Studio on your machine. For example, with Visual Studio 2013, do:
mkdir build cd build cmake -G "Visual Studio 12" ..After this, find unicorn.sln in the same directory. Open it with Visual Studio and build the solution including libraries & all test as usual.
[2] You can make sure the prior steps successfully worked by launching one of the sample binary (sample_*.exe).
[3] You can also enable just one specific architecture by passing the architecture name to either the cmake.sh or nmake.bat scripts. e.g.:
..\nmake.bat x86
Will just target the x86 architecture. The list of available architectures are: X86 ARM AARCH64 M68K MIPS SPARC.
[4] You can also create an installation image with cmake, by using the 'install' target. Use:
cmake --build . --config Release --target install
This will normally install an image in a default location (on MacOS and Linux, but this is not supported
on Windows). So in case you want to change the install location, set this when configuring CMake.
Use: -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=path for instance, to put the installation in the 'path' subdirectory of
the build directory.
The default value of 'CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX' on *nix is '/usr/local'.
