Building

Start using rm -rf build; mkdir build; cd build

Regular installer tarball

Generate a tar.gz tarball which can be used by the new plugin installer,
available from OpenCPN 5.2.0:

$ cmake ..
$ make tarball           

flatpak tarball

Build a installer tarball to be used by the flatpak'ed opencpn plugin
installer:

$ cmake ..
$ make flatpak

Legacy installer

On most platforms besides flatpak: build a platform-dependent legacy
installer like a NSIS .exe on Windows, a Debian .deb package on Linux
and a .dmg image for MacOS:

$ cmake ..
$ make pkg

Building on windows (MSVC)

On windows, a somewhat different workflow is used:

> cmake -T v141\_xp ..
> cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" --config RelWithDebInfo  ..
> cmake --build . --target tarball --config RelWithDebInfo

This is to build the installer tarball. Use --target pkg to build the
legacy NSIS installer. The build requires access to a specific wxWidgets
3.1.2 build, see the appveyour.yml file for details.
