It is best to use an out of source build ```cmake S B build DCMAKE BUILD TYPE=RelWithDebInfo DOSQUERY TOOLCHAIN SYSROOT= opt osquery toolchain if on linux cmake build build j 4 config RelWithDebInfo if you are building on Windows with msvc ```

If your changes have been committed and an in source build was made you can also reset the folder ``` Make sure your changes are committed or they ll get lost git reset hard git clean ffdx```

You can also deinit all the submodules if you want to run the configure completely from scratch ```git submodule deinit force all```
