Compilation

The build process is entirely managed by a bash script. It builds and install the core and block of the project. Each block have it own cmake script to build it.

# Start BotJs build
cd path/to/botjs
./build.sh

Clean script is also available, it remove all build directories.

# Start BotJs clean
cd path/to/botjs
./clean.sh
