If it exists for your platform, we -highly recommend using a binary distribution. +This is an installer created using CPack (http://www.cmake.org). No additional installation instructions provided. -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. |
