In commit 0c727b90 (install(EXPORT): Force absolute paths for usr-move, 2013-03-08) and commit d4774140 (configure_package_config_file: force absolute paths for usr-move, 2013-01-24) we supported Linux distributions implementing the "/usr move" by assuming that installation to (/usr)?/lib(64)? represents a non-relocatable system package. When cross-compiling one may prepare a package for installation into a system location on a target machine but install the package files on the *host* machine inside another path for use with CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH. In this case the package development files must still be relocatable. Handle "/usr move" with a new approach that works with relocatable files. Teach configure_package_config_file and install(EXPORT) to generate special logic in a package configuration file or targets file for installation under (/usr)?/lib(64)?. Teach the file to recognize when it is loaded through a symlink that refers to the same realpath as its original install destination. In such a case, use the original install prefix. Otherwise, compute the prefix relative to the current file location to make it relocatable.
This is CMake, the cross-platform, open-source make system. CMake is distributed under the BSD License, see Copyright.txt. For documentation see the Docs/ directory once you have built CMake or visit http://www.cmake.org. Building CMake ============== Supported Platforms ------------------- MS Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, HP-UX, IRIX, BeOS, QNX Other UNIX-like operating systems may work too out of the box, if not it shouldn't be a major problem to port CMake to this platform. Contact the CMake mailing list in this case: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake If you don't have any previous version of CMake already installed -------------------------------------------------------------- * UNIX/Mac OSX/MinGW/MSYS/Cygwin: You need to have a compiler and a make installed. Run the bootstrap script you find the in the source directory of CMake. You can use the --help option to see the supported options. You may want to use the --prefix=<install_prefix> option to specify a custom installation directory for CMake. You can run the bootstrap script from within the CMake source directory or any other build directory of your choice. Once this has finished successfully, run make and make install. So basically it's the same as you may be used to from autotools-based projects: $ ./bootstrap; make; make install * Other Windows: You need to download and install a binary release of CMake in order to build CMake. You can get these releases from http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Download.html . Then proceed with the instructions below. You already have a version of CMake installed --------------------------------------------- You can build CMake as any other project with a CMake-based build system: run the installed CMake on the sources of this CMake with your preferred options and generators. Then build it and install it. For instructions how to do this, see http://www.cmake.org/HTML/RunningCMake.html
