For development purposes (git builds), please see [Repository_Access](Repository_Access).
The release Makefile aims to provide a convenient way to compile for alternative CPU architectures, or to get a build fully optimised for a recent x86 CPU (the official binaries are generic x86_64). It would also allow you to run Xonotic on an OS too old to be supported by official binaries.
-To this end the Makefile defaults to enabling all optimisations that can be used on your current CPU without causing bugs, and to using all available CPU threads.

-The builds will be dynamically linked except for d0_blind_id which is statically linked to ensure reliable player ID support and because OS distributions don't ship this.
