Building MD4C

Simple Building

Building MD4C from the source repository or source package is based on cmake and there should be no surprises. There are no build dependencies (standard C library suffices).

For example, on Linux:

$ cd md4c
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make

This actually builds the md2html. This utility uses MD4C parser to read a Markdown document and converts it into HTML.

Note the md2html is built with the MD4C's UTF-8 support enabled.

Build Configurations

Build configuration is determined by the standard cmake's CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE variable. By default (when not specified), MD4C builds a Release build.

Please note that Debug build may result in a binary which is about two times slower then the Release build.
