Build and Install

Not a stand alone software component. Serves as a helper library for particular Intel drivers. There is no need to build the library as long as it is an integrated part of those Intel drivers.

1. Download sources.

2. Install libdrm-dev:

sudo apt install libdrm-dev

3. Run CMake generation:

cmake .

4. Build:

make -j$(nproc)

5. Built library will be here (for 64-bit release Linux):

(project_root)/dump/linux64/release/metrics_library/libigdml.so

6. To prepare an installation package:

make package

7. Install:

sudo dpkg -i intel-metrics-library*.deb

Note: To clear CMake parameters remove CMakeCache.txt, then regenerate.
