DarkRadiant employs the CMake build system under Linux as used in many open-source projects. Make sure you have the CMake toolchain downloaded, this is covered in the package installation commands above.

	To build DarkRadiant, ~~run~~ the ~~typical chain of~~ CMake ~~and make commands~~:		To build DarkRadiant, use the CMake command(s):

	cmake .		cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
	~~make~~		cmake --build build
	~~[sudo] make install~~

	By the above, a release build will be created; if a debug build is required pass the <tt>-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug</tt> option to the cmake command ~~script~~.		It is now possible to run the local build of DarkRadiant directly by executing <tt>./build/darkradiant/bin/darkradiant</tt>. There is no need for a subsequent "install" step. However, if you wish to install the built software, pass the desired directory to the initial CMake command, e.g. <tt>-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/tmp/dr</tt>, then run a final <tt>cmake --build build --target install</tt> to perform the actual installation.

			By the above, a release build will be created; if a debug build is required pass the <tt>-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug</tt> option to the cmake command.

	* For quick testing of a DarkRadiant build, it is desirable to install it into a temporary location rather than the default of <tt>/usr/local</tt>; for this, simply pass a prefix option such as <tt>-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/tmp/dr</tt> to cmake, after which DarkRadiant will be installed in <tt>/tmp/dr/bin/darkradiant</tt>.
