# Building
The Micro BGP Suite uses [Meson](https://mesonbuild.com/) to manage its build
process.
The basic steps to configure and build `lonetix` and every utility, with
debug options enabled, is:
```sh
$ git clone https://git.doublefourteen.io/bgp/ubgpsuite.git
$ cd ubgpsuite
$ meson build && cd build
$ ninja
```
In case you want to perform a release build, enable the release configuration,
like this:
```sh
$ git clone https://git.doublefourteen.io/bgp/ubgpsuite.git
$ cd ubgpsuite
$ meson --buildtype=release build && cd build
$ ninja
```
Or, alternatively, run the following command inside an already existing `build`
directory:
```sh
$ meson configure -Dbuildtype=release
$ ninja
```
Many build options are available to configure `µbgpsuite` build, you can use:
```sh
$ meson configure
```
to list them.
# Documentation
The Micro BGP Suite uses [Doxygen](https://www.doxygen.org/index.html) to document its API.
If you have `doxygen` installed in your system you can use:
```sh
$ ninja doc
```
inside `build` directory to generate Doxygen documentation.
# License
The Micro BGP Suite is free software.
