-This is CMake, the cross-platform, open-source make system.
-CMake is distributed under the BSD 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
-
-
-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
