Compiling
By default the option to use optimisations for the CPU architecture is enabled. This will enable the compilation of a 3rd party library which is bundled with the source. This library is simdcomp which uses Intel SIMD instructions to speed up compression and decompression and as such will only compile for x86. This needs to be disabled with passing "-DUSE_OPTIMIZE_FOR_ARCHITECTURE=Off" to cmake.
