Additional remarks

The project uses git submodules and depends on files that are in a zipped format. The build process takes care of these dependencies, but you can invoke the steps manually:

  • To unzip the binaries, you can build the target Unzip Binaries
  • To initialize the submodules: git submodule update --init --recursive
