=== Configuration settings

Connector/C specifies its build process with platform-independent CMake listfiles included in each directory of a source tree with the name CMakeLists.txt.
Configuration settings may be specified by passing the -D option to CMake command line interpreter.

Do not build Connector/C from root of the source tree: Either create a subdirectory "build" inside the source tree or create a subdirectory outside of the source tree.

Example:
<<code>>
cmake ../connector_c -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local
<</code>>

==== Reconfiguration
In case Connector/C was already configured, the CMakeCache.txt file needs to be removed first. In several cases, e.g. when cross compiling CMakeFiles subfolders need to be removed too.

==== Generator options
If you want to use a different generator, e.g. for nmake on Windows, you need to specify the generator with the <<code>>-G<</code>> option. <<code>>cmake --help<</code>> lists the available generators for the used platform.

==== Client plugins
Client plugins can be configured as dynamic plugins (DYNAMIC) or built-in plugins (STATIC) by specifying the plugin name followed by suffix _PLUGIN_TYPE as key, and "DYNAMIC" or "STATIC" as value.

E.g. for building dialog plugin as a built-in plugin, for versions < Connector/C 3.0.4
<<code>>
cmake .. -D{PLUGIN_NAME}_PLUGIN_TYPE=[STATIC|DYNAMIC|OFF]
<</code>>

Beginning with C/C 3.0.4
<<code>>
cmake .. -DCLIENT_PLUGIN_{PLUGIN_NAME}=[STATIC|DYNAMIC|OFF]
<</code>>
