Building Julius

To build Julius, you'll need:

• a compiler: gcc, clang, Visual Studio and MinGW(-w64) are all known to be supported
• git
• cmake
• SDL2
• SDL2_mixer
• libpng - optional, a bundled copy will be used if not found

After cloning the repo, run the following commands:

This results in a julius executable.
