| 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 |
| |
| |
| If 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 bootstrap 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 bootstrap 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: |
| |
| $ ./bootstrap; 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 build system: |
| run the installed CMake on the sources of this CMake with your preferred |
| options and generators. Then build it and install it. |
| For instructions how to do this, see http://www.cmake.org/HTML/RunningCMake.html |
