- OS X

- Linux/X11

# Requirements

- Compiler with C++11 support

- CMake 3.0.0 and later

# 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.
