Create a build directory within the project (this is ignored by .gitignore):

mkdir build
cd build

Run CMake to generate the makefile:

cmake ..

Then compile the program (for a safe multithreading compilation use: -j$(grep -c ^processor /proc/cpuinfo)):

make -j$(grep -c ^processor /proc/cpuinfo)
