### Generating with CMake
Once you have all necessary dependencies, it is time to generate the project
files or makefiles for your development environment. If you are using the
command-line version of CMake, the easiest way is to make an in-tree build.
Enter the root directory of the GLFW source tree and do
files or makefiles for your development environment. CMake needs to know two
paths for this: the path to the source directory and the target path for the
generated files and compiled binaries. If these are the same, it is called an
in-tree build, otherwise it is called an out-of-tree build.
One of several advantages of out-of-tree builds is that you can generate files
and compile for different development environments using a single source tree.
#### Using CMake from the command-line
To make an in-tree build, enter the root directory of the GLFW source tree and
run CMake. The current directory is used as target path, while the path
provided as an argument is used to find the source tree.
cd <glfw-root-dir>
cmake .
The dot is an argument telling CMake where the root of the source tree is
located, while the current directory is used as the target for binaries. If
you prefer to do an out-of-tree build, make another directory, enter it and
run CMake with the (relative or absolute) path to the root directory.
To make an out-of-tree build, make another directory, enter it and run CMake
with the (relative or absolute) path to the root of the source tree as an
argument.
cd <glfw-root-dir>
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
#### Using the CMake GUI
If you are using the GUI version, choose the root of the GLFW source tree as
source location and the same directory or another, empty directory as the
destination for binaries. Choose *Configure*, change any options you wish to,
*Configure* again and then *Generate*.
*Configure* again to let the changes take effect and then *Generate*.
