Enter the root directory of the GLFW source tree and do generated files and compiled binaries. If these are the same, it is called an
in-tree build, otherwise it is called an out-of-tree build.
One of several advantages of out-of-tree builds is that you can generate files
and compile for different development environments using a single source tree.
#### Using CMake from the command-line
To make an in-tree build, enter the root directory of the GLFW source tree and
run CMake. The current directory is used as target path, while the path
provided as an argument is used to find the source tree.
cd <glfw-root-dir> cd <glfw-root-dir>
cmake . cmake .
