However, if you are developing MCServer actively, debug mode might be better. + + cmake . && make + +Debug Mode +---------- + +Debug mode is useful if you want more debugging information about MCServer as it's running or if you want to use a debugger like GDB to debug issues and crashes. + + cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DEBUG && make |
