# build tutorial

In this chapter, we provide a detailed tutorial on how to build [iwasm vmcore](../../../doc/build_wamr.md) and [wamrc](build_wamrc.md).

## Quick build matrix

Our powerful **iwasm vmcore** provide various running mode you could choose using the compile CMake option. Here is the matrix for different running mode and their attributes:

| Running mode | CMake build options | Pros and Cons  |
| -----------  | -----------         | ---------      |
|  AOT         | none(default)       |                |
|  Classic Interpreter | -DWAMR_BUILD_FAST_INTERP=0 |         |
|  Fast Interpreter | none(default)  |                |
|  LLVM JIT         | -DWAMR_BUILD_JIT=1  |                |
|  Fast JIT    | -DWAMR_BUILD_FAST_JIT=1 |            |

## Supported architectures and platforms

Here is a list of architectures and platforms WAMR support. You could click on the link for quick reference.

The iwasm supports the following architectures:

- X86-64, X86-32
- ARM, THUMB (ARMV7 Cortex-M7 and Cortex-A15 are tested)
- AArch64 (Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A53 are tested)
- RISCV64, RISCV32 (RISC-V LP64 and RISC-V LP64D are tested)
- XTENSA, MIPS, ARC

The following platforms are supported. Click each link below for how to build iwasm on that platform. Refer to [WAMR porting guide](../../../doc/port_wamr.md) for how to port WAMR to a new platform.
