+cmake -DLIBNICE_LIBRARY=./libnice.so -DUSRSCTP_LIBRARY=./libusrsctp.so -DLIBNICE_INCLUDE_DIR="./libnice/nice/;./libnice/agent/;./libnice/;" -DUSRSCTP_INCLUDE_DIR=./usrsctp/usrsctplib -DSPDLOG_INCLUDE_DIR="./spdlog/include/" -DDISABLE_SPDLOG=off -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug 
+ ```
+ Disable spdlog by passing `-DDISABLE_SPDLOG=on`
