# Requirements

# Build
To build the library without installation run:
```bash
cmake .
make
```
To build and install run:
```bash
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local .
make install
```
To build static library run:
```bash
cmake -DQXTGLOBALSHORTCUT_STATIC=ON .
make
```
# Use the Library
Directory "example" contains simple CMake project which uses the installed library.
To compile and run the example:
```bash
cd example
cmake .
make
./qxtglobalshortcut_text
```
If `cmake` prints error that it cannot find package for the library you have to specify
it's install path. E.g.
```bash
qxtglobalshortcut_DIR=/usr/local/lib/cmake/qxtglobalshortcut cmake .
```
Alternatively you can add the path to `CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH` environment variable.
