Configure and build

Then you can use rake commands to configure and build.

# Set paths to libraries for building (OS X only)
brewroot() {
  ruby -e "puts Dir.glob( %(#{ %x(brew --prefix).chomp }/Cellar/$1/*) ).first"
}
export BOOST_ROOT=$(brewroot boost@1.60)
export OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=$(brewroot openssl@1.1)
export SNAPPY_ROOT_DIR=$(brewroot snappy)
export ZLIB_ROOT_DIR=$(brewroot zlib)
export BZIP2_ROOT_DIR=$(brewroot bzip2)
# Then, verify
echo $BOOST_ROOT
echo $OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR
echo $SNAPPY_ROOT_DIR
echo $ZLIB_ROOT_DIR
echo $BZIP2_ROOT_DIR

rake configure
THREAD_COUNT=2 rake make

Run XGT

Finally, to run:

rake run
