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. |
