This document describes how to build Groonga at the repository by CMake on GNU/Linux or Unix.

Unix is *BSD, Solaris, OS X and so on.

If you want to use Windows for developing Groonga, see How to build Groonga at the repository by CMake on Windows.

    $ git clone --recursive git@github.com:groonga/groonga.git
