This page is about compiling the sources included in [stable](https://xonotic.org/download) and [beta](https://beta.xonotic.org/autobuild) releases, and is also applicable when updating by rsync.

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). 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 mostly dynamically linked, except for d0_blind_id which is statically linked to ensure reliable player ID support and because distributions don't ship this.
