Cmake is a build system for C++ projects. It is an alternative to autotools.
Installing
Downloading
You can either visit http://www.cmake.org and download the binary, or you can use wget:
$ wget http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/cmake-X.Y.Z.tar.gzand untar it using tar:
$ tar xvzf cmake-X.Y.Z.tar.gzConfiguring
Cmake is straightforward to install. It is intended to replace autotools, but it still uses autotools to build it - but a little differently.
You can configure it by running:
$ ./bootstrap --prefix=/path/to/cmake/buildThen you can type make and make install, and you're good to go. Don't forget to add /path/to/cmake/build/bin to your $PATH!
