KFR C API

Building KFR C API

Clang is required. See Installation

C API is supported on non-x86 platforms. C API requires that KFR_ENABLE_MULTIARCH be enabled (enabled by default).

Windows

These commands must be executed in the MSVC command prompt.

cd <path_to_kfr_repository>
cmake -B build -GNinja -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=path/to/install/dir -DENABLE_CAPI_BUILD=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="<PATH_TO_LLVM_DIR>/bin/clang-cl.exe" ..
ninja -C build install

Linux, macOS, other

On Linux and macOS, the CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE CMake option is required for building the C API:

cd <path_to_kfr_repository>
cmake -B build -GNinja -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=path/to/install/dir -DENABLE_CAPI_BUILD=ON -DDCMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ ..
ninja -C build install
