There are a few more options besides ``CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE`` that can be given to cmake with ``-DVARIABLE=VALUE``:
-* If you have a recent enough toolchain (GCC 4.8 or higher recommended), you can enable link-time optimization with ENABLE_LTO=ON to get slightly better optimized binaries
* By default, fastd will try to build against libsodium. If you want to use NaCl instead, set ENABLE_LIBSODIUM=OFF
-* Use ENABLE_OPENSSL=ON/OFF to enable or disable compiling against OpenSSL
-* If you have a toolchain without binutils plugin support (e.g. on Debian Wheezy), it is not enough to keep ENABLE_LTO disabled, in addition CMake must be told to use the standard `ar`, `ranlib` and `nm` implementation instead of the GCC-provided versions::
+* If you have a recent enough toolchain (GCC 4.8 or higher recommended), you can enable link-time optimization with ENABLE_LTO=ON to get slightly better optimized binaries
+* If you want to use LTO with a binutils version without linker plugin support, you need to use the GCC versions of ar, nm and ranlib by setting the following variables::
- CMAKE_AR=/usr/bin/ar
- CMAKE_RANLIB=/usr/bin/ranlib
- CMAKE_NM=/usr/bin/nm
+ CMAKE_AR=/usr/bin/gcc-ar
+ CMAKE_NM=/usr/bin/gcc-nm
+ CMAKE_RANLIB=/usr/bin/gcc-ranlib
* You can see all CMake options by calling ``ccmake .`` in the build directory after running cmake. Use the `t` key to toggle display between simple and advanced view and use `c` and then `g` to update the configuration after making changes in ccmake.
