+COMPILING INSTRUCTIONS
|
|
|
+======================
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This project uses the CMake (http://www.cmake.org) cross-platform build system.
|
|
|
+To compile this project, you will have to make sure you have CMake installed.
|
|
|
+Binary and source distributions of CMake can be found at
|
|
|
+http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Download.html. If it exists for your platform, we
|
|
|
+highly recommend using a binary distribution.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Once CMake is installed, you are ready to build this project. We highly
|
|
|
+recommend reading the documentation on
|
|
|
+http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Documentation.html if you are not familiar with this
|
|
|
+process.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Here is a summary of the build:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Run one of the CMake user interfaces.
|
|
|
+* Change configuration options.
|
|
|
+* Compile (make on UNIX, Visual Studio on Windows).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+UNIX/Linux
|
|
|
+----------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The following instructions only apply to Unix/Linux systems.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The following example shows how to use this technique to build this project on
|
|
|
+multiple architectures. Assume we have a Solaris machine and an IRIX machine
|
|
|
+with a shared disk with the source tarball in the home directory.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+On either machine, extract the source tarball:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ tar xvzf paraview-2.0.0.tar.gz
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+On the Solaris machine, run
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ mkdir paraview-2.0.0-solaris<br>
|
|
|
+ cd paraview-2.0.0-solaris<br>
|
|
|
+ ccmake ../paraview-2.0.0<br>
|
|
|
+ make && make install
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Then on the IRIX machine, run
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ mkdir paraview-2.0.0-irix<br>
|
|
|
+ cd paraview-2.0.0-irix<br>
|
|
|
+ ccmake ../paraview-2.0.0<br>
|
|
|
+ make && make install
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+It is a very good idea to tell CMake what C and C++ compilers you will be
|
|
|
+using. This can prevent many build problems. On most systems you can pass this
|
|
|
+information to CMake in the following way:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ env CXX=/your/C++/compiler CC=/your/c/compiler ccmake .
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+otherwise you must set CXX and CC in your environment and then run ccmake (or
|
|
|
+cmake -i).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Windows
|
|
|
+-------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The Windows build process uses the CMake GUI CMakeSetup.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Execute CMakeSetup. This will pop-up a GUI that allows you to tailor the build.
|
|
|
+You'll have to tell CMakeSetup where you've placed your source code, and where
|
|
|
+to build the object code and dll's. The build directory is typically placed
|
|
|
+next to the source directory.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+When CMakeSetup completes you can build the project. If you are using Visual
|
|
|
+Studio, start up Visual Studio and load the project file. Then select the
|
|
|
+ALL_BUILD project, and build it. If you are using NMake Makefiles, Borland
|
|
|
+Makefiles, Mingw, MSYS, or Cygwin, then use the appropriate make command.
