There are some CMake options you might care about:
| flag | default | does |
|------|---------|------|
| `ENABLE_IO_THREAD` | `ON` | When enabled, we start up a thread to do io processing, if disabled you should call `Discord_UpdateConnection` yourself.
| `USE_STATIC_CRT` | `OFF` | (Windows) Enable to statically link the CRT, avoiding requiring users install the redistributable package. (The prebuilt binaries enable this option)
| [`BUILD_SHARED_LIBS`](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.7/variable/BUILD_SHARED_LIBS.html) | `OFF` | Build library as a DLL
| `WARNINGS_AS_ERRORS` | `OFF` | When enabled, compiles with `-Werror` (on *nix platforms). |

## Sample: send-presence
@ -68,20 +70,47 @@ This is a sample [Unity](https://unity3d.com/) project that wraps a DLL version
This is a sample [Unreal](https://www.unrealengine.com) project that wraps the DLL version of the library with an Unreal plugin, exposes a blueprint class for interacting with it, and uses that to make a very simple UI. Run `python build.py unreal` in the root directory to build the correct library files and place them in their respective folders.
### Using the Unreal Engine plugin with your own project
To use the Rich Presense plugin with Unreal Engine Projects:
1. Download the latest [release](https://github.com/discordapp/discord-rpc/releases) for each operating system you are targeting and the zipped source code
2. In the source code zip, copy the UE plugin—`DiscordRpc.uplugin`—from `examples/unrealstatus/Plugins/discordrpc` to your project's plugin directory
3. At `[YOUR_UE_PROJECT]/Plugins/discordrpc/source/ThirdParty/DiscordRpcLibrary/`, create an `Include` folder and copy `discord_rpc.h` and `discord_register.h` to it from the zip
4. Follow the steps below for each OS
5. Build your UE4 project
6. Launch the editor, and enable the Discord plugin.
#### Windows
* At `[YOUR_UE_PROJECT]/Plugins/discordrpc/source/ThirdParty/DiscordRpcLibrary/`, create a `Win64` folder
* Copy `lib/discord-rpc.lib` and `bin/discord-rpc.dll` from `[RELEASE_ZIP]/win64-dynamic` to the `Win64` folder
#### Mac
* At `[YOUR_UE_PROJECT]/Plugins/discordrpc/source/ThirdParty/DiscordRpcLibrary/`, create a `Mac` folder
* Copy `libdiscord-rpc.dylib` from `[RELEASE_ZIP]/osx-dynamic/lib` to the `Mac` folder
#### Linux
* At `[YOUR_UE_PROJECT]/Plugins/discordrpc/source/ThirdParty/DiscordRpcLibrary/`, create a `Linux` folder
* Inside, create another folder `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`
* Copy `libdiscord-rpc.so` from `[RELEASE_ZIP]/linux-dynamic/lib` to `Linux/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`
