Installing GoAhead

GoAhead releases are available as a source code distribution that contains all the required source files, headers, tools, and test framework to reconfigure, build, and verify GoAhead. The software supports two tools for building from source.

Building via make is the simplest and quickest way to build. Use make if you want a default build or if you need to integrate GoAhead with an existing make-based build system. Use the IDE projects for Visual Studio or Xcode if you are most comfortable with these tools and want a default build.
