+This is CMake, the cross-platform, open-source make system.
|
|
|
+CMake is free software under a BSD-like license, see Copyright.txt .
|
|
|
+For documentation see the Docs/ directory once you have built CMake
|
|
|
+or visit http://www.cmake.org.

+Building CMake
|
|
|
+==============
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Supported Platforms
|
|
|
+-------------------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+MS Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, HP-UX, IRIX, BeOS, QNX
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Other UNIX-like operating systems may work too out of the box, if not
|
|
|
+it shouldn't be a major problem to port CMake to this platform. Contact the
|
|
|
+CMake mailing list in this case: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+You don't have any previous version of CMake already installed
|
|
|
+--------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* UNIX/Mac OSX/MinGW/MSYS/Cygwin:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+You need to have a compiler and a make installed.
|
|
|
+Run the configure script you find the in the source directory of CMake.
|
|
|
+You can use the --help option to see the supported options.
|
|
|
+You may want to use the --prefix=<install_prefix> option to specify a custom
|
|
|
+installation directory for CMake. You can run the configure script from
|
|
|
+within the CMake source directory or any other build directory of your
|
|
|
+choice. Once this has finished successfully, run make and make install.
|
|
|
+So basically it's the same as you may be used to from autotools-based
|
|
|
+projects:
|
|
|
+$ ./configure; make; make install
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Other Windows:
|
|
|
+You need to download and install a binary release of CMake in order to build CMake.
|
|
|
+You can get these releases from http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Download.html .
|
|
|
+Then proceed with the instructions below:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+You already have a version of CMake installed
|
|
|
+---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+You can build CMake as any other project with a CMake-based buildsystem:
|
|
|
+run the installed CMake on the sources of this CMake with your prefered
|
|
|
+options and generators. Then build it and install it.
|
|
|
+For instructions how to do this, see http://www.cmake.org/HTML/RunningCMake.html
