Building
--------

Blend2D is almost self-containing library. The only dependency is AsmJit, which is only required by when JIT is enabled.

To fetch both Blend2D and AsmJit, type:

```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/blend2d/blend2d
$ git clone https://github.com/asmjit/asmjit blend2d/3rdparty/asmjit
```

Then you can simply configure and build blend2d with CMake:

```bash
$ cmake -S blend2d -B blend2d/build/Release -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBLEND2D_TEST=ON
$ cmake --build blend2d/build/Release --config Release
```

And run samples:

```
$ blend2d/build/Release/bl_sample_1
$ blend2d/build/Release/bl_sample_2
...
```

To build Blend2D with interactive demos and with benchmark targeting Qt and other libraries, use `BLEND2D_DEMOS=ON`

```bash
$ cmake -S blend2d -B blend2d/build/Release -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBLEND2D_TEST=ON -DBLEND2D_DEMOS=ON
$ cmake --build blend2d/build/Release --config Release
```

Please note that to build interactive demos and benchmarking backends, you need to have Qt installed, in addition to all rendering libraries you would like to benchmark.
