Basic Build Instructions (Open Source)

BDE uses a build system based on cmake, which is located in the BDE Tools repository.

The following commands can be used to configure and build the BDE repository:

1. Clone the bde-tools and bde repositories and add bde-tools to your PATH:

   $ git clone https://github.com/bloomberg/bde-tools.git
   $ export PATH=$PWD/bde-tools/bin:$PATH      # add bde-tools to the 'PATH'
   $ git clone https://github.com/bloomberg/bde.git
   $ cd bde

2. From the root of this source repository, run:

   $ export BDE_CMAKE_BUILD_DIR=$PWD/_build   # configure the build directory
   $ cmake_build.py configure -u dbg_exc_mt_64_cpp14

3. To build the libraries, but not the test drivers, run:

   $ cmake_build.py build

   To also build the test drivers, run:

   $ cmake_build.py build --test build

   To build and run the test drivers, run:

   $ cmake_build.py build --test run
