Cmake

[LEthaLity]

Hi, I'd like to have Cmake, if possible. Is it something i could do, being on a vps or would you need to, if it's at all possible ?

regards Lee

Wish you Merry Christmas Lee !

CMake is a cross-platform, open-source build system which is designed to build, test and package software. CMake is used to control the software compilation process using simple platform and compiler independent configuration files. CMake generates native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the compiler environment of your choice.

Here're the simple steps to get the application installed :

Get the file :

root@support [~]# wget http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.6/cmake-2.6.2.tar.gz

Extract it:

root@support [~]# tar xzf cmake-2.6.2.tar.gz

Get into the extracted directory:

root@support [~]# cd cmake-2.6.2

Run the cunfigure command:

root@support [~]# ./configure

Now once the screen has finished all it's checks, it'd come to a standstill, run the following now:

root@support [~]# gmake

Later:

root@support [~]# make

Further more:

root@support [~]# make install

All done now check the version:

root@support [~]# cmake --version

Get help through the --help option:

root@support [~]# cmake --help

Enjoy :D

Hello Lee,

You can install CMake as Rocky suggested or would you like us to install the application for you ?

We look forward for your response in order to proceed further.

Cmake is very effective in terms of speed, reliability and usability and so on.

Is it possible to create one set of CMake files that describe a project and with the help of this files is it possible to create Makefiles for Windows and Linux?

CMake is a cross-platform, open-source make system. CMake is used to control the software compilation process using simple platform-independent and compiler-independent configuration files. CMake generates native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the compiler environment of your choice. CMake is quite sophisticated: it is possible to support complex environments requiring system configuration, preprocessor generation, code generation, and template instantiation. Please go to CMake - Cross Platform Make to learn more about CMake.
