# Makefile vs CMake

## Client

The client can be compiled both with the historical Makefile and with a newer CMakeLists.txt.
At the moment both are maintained because they don't perfectly overlap yet.

* *in_common*: src in /common
* *in_deps*: src in /client/deps
* *opt*: optional dependency
* *pc*: use pkg-config
* *sys*: system library
