## Building LOOT
### Tools
LOOT's build process uses [CMake](http://cmake.org). Most of LOOT's C++ dependencies are managed by CMake, but the following must be obtained manually:
LOOT uses the following tools as part of its build process:
* [Boost](http://www.boost.org) v1.55+
* [Chromium Embedded Framework](https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef) branch 2623 (only required if building the GUI)
* [CMake](http://cmake.org): To generate build files
* [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/): To manage the UI dependencies and build the UI
Building LOOT's GUI also uses [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/). With it installed, run `npm install` then `./node_modules/.bin/bower install` from the repository root to install the additional tools and dependencies required.
Once Node.js is installed, run `npm install` from the repository root to install the necessary libraries and tools.
The GUI's HTML file is automatically built when building the LOOT GUI binary, but it can also be built by running `node scripts/vulcanize.js` from the repository root.
### Dependencies
LOOT requires a mix of web and C/C++ libraries. The web libraries can be fetched by running `./node_modules/.bin/bower install` from the repository root, and most of the C/C++ dependencies are resolved by CMake, but the following must be obtained separately (version numbers used in latest development revision given):
* [Boost](http://www.boost.org) v1.60.0
* [Chromium Embedded Framework](https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef) branch 2623: Required to build the GUI, but not the API or tests.
### Building
Instructions for building Windows binaries using Microsoft Visual Studio are given in [docs/BUILD.MSVC.md](docs/BUILD.MSVC.md), and instructions for building Linux binaries using GCC are given in [docs/BUILD.LINUX.md](docs/BUILD.LINUX.md).
The HTML UI is automatically built when building the LOOT executable, but it can also be built by running `node scripts/vulcanize.js` from the repository root.
Platform-specific instructions for building Windows binaries using Microsoft Visual Studio are given in [docs/BUILD.MSVC.md](docs/BUILD.MSVC.md), and instructions for building Linux binaries using GCC are given in [docs/BUILD.LINUX.md](docs/BUILD.LINUX.md).
