To build under Linux, follow standard instructions, just make sure to set
the `-DBUILDARCH="MOCK"` CMake option.
### Windows
Mocking capability allows us to build and use libmraa under Windows. That helps
if you e.g. don't want to leave your customary Windows-based Python IDE, but
want to develop libmraa-based programs.
Building Node.js bindings was not yet tested under Windows as MSYS2
does not have a ready-made package. Java was not tested either.
#### Prerequisites
You'll need the following to build libmraa under Windows:
* [MSYS2](http://mingw-w64.org/doku.php/download/msys2) basic installation
* Several additional packages, install them by running
```bash
pacman -S cmake base-devel gcc git
```
#### Compiling
The procedure is conceptually the same as under Linux - you first need to run
CMake with specific options to generate makefiles and then run make to build everything.
* Run MSYS2 shell (not a MinGW one)
* Clone the libmraa git repo (let's assume into `/home/test/mraa/mraa-src` dir)
* Create a build directory outside of the clone one (let's say `/home/test/mraa/mraa-build`)
* Run CMake, switching off unsupported options and enabling mock platform:
```bash
cmake ../mraa-src/ -DBUILDARCH="MOCK" -DBUILDSWIGNODE=OFF -DENABLEEXAMPLES=OFF
```
* Make, install and test:
```bash
make clean && make install && make test
```
All tests should pass.
**Note:** To have autocompletion in Python IDE, just point it to MSYS2's Python
and make sure to specify any additional paths pointing to site-packages dir
with mraa module if IDE requires that ("Interpreter Paths" in PyCharm).
With the above settings the module will be installed into `/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages`
and the libmraa itself - into `/usr/local/bin`.
