Installing

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/build

Then 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!

Professor James Sutherland's presentation on using CMake, part of the 2010 Scientific Computing Summer Workshop, is here: File:CMake Sutherland.pdf

This presentation contains an example of a "Hello World" program built with CMake.
