Installation

Miknet can be installed on POSIX compliant Unix-like operating systems and Windows. For Windows, compile in Cygwin or Msys.

Run these

git clone https://github.com/PaytonTurnage/Miknet.git && cd Miknet
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .

This should get you libmiknet.a, which you can link against in your programs.

To install (reccomended for new users), run the following as root

make install

For users unfamiliar with linking against libraries, perform the above command to install, and append the flag

-lmiknet

to your compiler invocation (and of course, include <miknet/miknet.h> in your source file(s)).

Note: There are helpful debugging messages available. If you want to see these while programming with miknet, replace cmake .. above with this command: cmake .. -DMIK_DEBUG=on. You will probably not want this version when you release your program, however.
