Building Sqeazy

Sqeazy comes in a whole bag of varieties. The native application and library is build using cmake. The grand project layout, compilation for java and packaging is performed with gradle.

To build everything from the root directory that contains this README.md file, just call gradle build or use the shipped script let_me_build_that_for_you.sh (click let_me_build_that_for_you on Windows).

If any of the dependencies listed below are not available through your environment, please call gradle like so on the command line:

gradle build -Phdf5_path=/usr/local/ -Plz4_path=/usr/local/ -Pboost_path=/usr/local/ -Pffmpeg_path=/usr/local/ -Ptiff_path=/usr/local

where the above assumes all required libraries are installed under /usr/local. Adapt this path according to your system.
