Building ComFLOW plug-ins
===================================

The ComFLOW plug-ins, which are included as sub-module ``build/src/plugins`` in the ComFLOW repository, can also be built as stand-alone project:

.. code-block:: bash

    # Step 1: Clone the plugins sub-module (or copy the folder 'build/src/plugins')
    git clone user@address:/some/path/comflow_plugins.git -b some_branch .

    # Step 2: Create and enter directory in which to build the binaries
    mkdir make_files
    cd make_files

    # Step 3: Configure the CMake project
    ccmake ..               # press 'C' (Configure) followed by 'G' (Generate)

    # Step 4: Build the binaries and optionally install them
    make -j
    make install
