You will need `$VCPKG_ROOT` defined in the environment for all build runs. It is a good idea to set this in your `.bashrc` or equivalent.
* If you would like to manage the code dependencies yourself:
```sh
- brew install sdl2 zlib googletest
+ brew bundle install
```
3. **Clone the Descent3 source code.**
```sh
- git clone https://github.com/DescentDevelopers/Descent3

**NOTE:** CMake variables, or more technically _CMake cache entries_, will persist in their values until they are explicitly cleared. So, if you set a variable and then run another CMake command _without_ that variable specified, the variable will still be set. Variables must be explicitly unset, or the `builds/` directory cleaned, in order to be cleared.

-| `CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE`
(or just [`--config`](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake.1.html#cmdoption-cmake-build-config), without the `-D` syntax) | `Debug` builds are generally larger, slower and contain extra correctness checks that will validate game data and interrupt gameplay when problems are detected.
`Release` builds are optimized for size and speed and do not include debugging information, which makes it harder to find problems.

-| `FORCE_PORTABLE_INSTALL` | Install all files into local directory defined by `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`. | `ON` |
-| `USE_VCPKG` | Explicitly control whether or not to use vcpkg for dependency resolution. `ON` requires the environment variable `VCPKG_ROOT` to be set. | Determined by the existence of `VCPKG_ROOT` in the environment: If it exists, vcpkg is used. |
