sudo make install
To install to a non-default location:
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/full/path/
make install
CMake hints for inspecting the build:
cmake --build build --target help
lists all build targets.build/CMakeCache.txt
(orcmake -LAH build/
) contains the resolved values of all CMake variables.build/compile_commands.json
shows the full compiler invocations for each translation unit.
Transitioning from Vim
See :help nvim-from-vim
for instructions.
