🛠️ Building IACore

IACore uses CMake Presets to manage toolchains and cross-compilation. This ensures that the correct compilers (Clang) and flags (AVX2/SIMD) are used automatically.

Prerequisites

• CMake 3.28+
• Ninja Build System
• Vcpkg (Environment variable VCPKG_ROOT must be set)
• Clang / Clang-CL

Build Instructions

1. Configure Select the preset for your target platform.

# List available presets
cmake --list-presets

# Configure for your platform (e.g., windows-x64, linux-arm64, wasm)
cmake --preset windows-x64

2. Build

cmake --build --preset windows-x64

Available Presets

Preset	Description	Toolchain
windows-x64	Windows (Clang-CL)	CMake/Toolchains/windows-x64.cmake
linux-x64	Linux (Clang)	CMake/Toolchains/linux-x64.cmake
wasm	WebAssembly (Emscripten)	CMake/Toolchains/wasm.cmake
windows-arm64	Windows on ARM (Cross-compile)	CMake/Toolchains/windows-arm64.cmake
linux-arm64	Linux on ARM (Cross-compile)	CMake/Toolchains/linux-arm64.cmake
