-COMPILING INSTRUCTIONS
-======================
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
-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.
+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.
