There are two easy ways to set variables for `cmake` to configure *xmr-stak*
- use the ncurses GUI
- `ccmake .`
- `ccmake ..`
- edit your options
- end the GUI by pressing the key `c`(create) and than `g`(generate)
- set Options on the command line
- enable a option: `cmake . -DNAME_OF_THE_OPTION=ON`
- disable a option `cmake . -DNAME_OF_THE_OPTION=OFF`
- set a value `cmake . -DNAME_OF_THE_OPTION=value`
- enable a option: `cmake .. -DNAME_OF_THE_OPTION=ON`
- disable a option `cmake .. -DNAME_OF_THE_OPTION=OFF`

## Generic Build Options
- `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` install miner to the home folder
- `cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/xmr-stak-cpu`
- `cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/xmr-stak-cpu`
- you can find the binary and the `config.txt` file after `make install` in `$HOME/xmr-stak-cpu/bin`
- `CMAKE_LINK_STATIC` link libgcc and libstdc++ libraries static (default OFF)
- disable with `cmake . -DCMAKE_LINK_STATIC=ON`
- disable with `cmake .. -DCMAKE_LINK_STATIC=ON`
- `CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE` set the build type
- valid options: `Release` or `Debug`
- you should always keep `Release` for your productive miners
- `MICROHTTPD_ENABLE` allow to disable/enable the dependency *microhttpd*
- there is no *http* interface available if option is disabled: `cmake . -DMICROHTTPD_ENABLE=OFF`
- there is no *http* interface available if option is disabled: `cmake .. -DMICROHTTPD_ENABLE=OFF`
- `OpenSSL_ENABLE` allow to disable/enable the dependency *OpenSSL*
