Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
CMake is a cross-platform, open-source build system generator.
|
|

|

CMake is maintained and supported by `Kitware`_ and developed in

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 should not be a major problem to port CMake to this platform.
|
|
Subscribe and post to the `CMake Users List`_ to ask if others have
|
|
had experience with the platform.

Building CMake from Scratch
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
UNIX/Mac OSX/MinGW/MSYS/Cygwin
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
You need to have a compiler and a make installed.
|
|
Run the ``bootstrap`` script you find in the source directory of CMake.
|
|
You can use the ``--help`` option to see the supported options.
|
|
You may 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``. In summary::
|
|
|
|
$ ./bootstrap && make && make install
|
|
|
|
Windows
|
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
You need to download and install a binary release of CMake in order to build
|
|
CMake. You can get these releases from the `CMake Download Page`_ . Then
|
|
proceed with the instructions below.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Building CMake with CMake
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
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 documentation on `Running CMake`_.
