This page describes the CMake variables you will encounter while configuring DVC. Some variables are hidden by default. You can see/modify them by enabling advanced variables in the CMake interface.


|| __Variable__ || __Description__ ||
|| BUILD_EXAMPLES || Enabled by default. Disable this option if you dont want to build the dvc example applications ||
|| BUILD_SHARED || Enabled by default. Compiles DVC, APP, and GUI libraries as shared libraries (.dll or .so). If disabled, libraries will be statically linked resulting in larger binaries. ||
|| DVC_DATA_DIR || Full path to the dvc data directory, usually found in the dvc source tree. ||
|| USE_APP || Enabled by default. If CMake cannot find SDL or OpenGL it will ask you to disable USE_APP. If disabled, some example applications will not be built. ||
|| USE_GUI || Enabled by default. If CMake cannot find GTKMM it will ask you to disable USE_GUI. If disabled, dvc applications will not use advanced GUI functionality. ||
