| 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. |
