ITACoreLibs are a collection of C++ libraries with basic tools for virtual acoustics including real-time audio streaming components for synthesis and reproduction.
# Build guide
This tutorial explains how to build (most of) the C++ libraries of the *Institute for Hearing Technology and Acoustics* at *RWTH Aachen University*.
Our projects use CMake as a build system generator. To ease the build process, most external libraries are downloaded during the configuration and build with the main project. This is done using the [CMake Package Manager](https://github.com/cpm-cmake/CPM.cmake).

### Special requirements
For certain modules, additional external libraries have to be manually included:
- For VAMatlab and ARTMatlab: Matlab (recently modern version)
CMake option to disable VAMatlab: `ITA_VA_WITH_BINDING_MATLAB` Default: `OFF`

CMake has a character limit for its build paths. This means, that the path to some source files can be too long. In these cases CMake will issue a warning. If this happens, try to move the top-level source folder up in your directory tree. A safe place should be the main drive folder, e.g. `D:\`.
