COMPILING
=========
To compile MCServer on *nix, you need a GNUmake-compatible make that reads GNUmakefile.
Run "make" to build a debug version (slow, but gives more info on crash)
Run "make release=1" to build a release version (fast, less info on crash)
Add addm32=1 to compile in 32-bit mode on 64-bit systems.
Add `-j 4` to use 4 threads and speed up compilation on multi-core devices.
To compile MCServer on *nix, you need CMake and make, as well as a C compiler, C++ compiler and linker.
Release Mode
------------
Release mode is preferred for almost all cases, it has much better speed and less console spam. However, if you are developing MCServer actively, debug mode might be better.
cmake . && make
Debug Mode
----------
Debug mode is useful if you want more debugging information about MCServer as it's running or if you want to use a debugger like GDB to debug issues and crashes.
cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DEBUG && make
