Alexander Neundorf 8e6f6155c0 BUG: the SET( ... CACHE INTERNAL) didn't work as expected, since the
variable is already added to the cache inside cmTryRunCommand.cxx, so the
value used here was ignored. Additionally the INTERNAL made it internal,
which shouldn't be done when cross compiling, since here the user is
required to edit this variable manually e.g. using ccmake.

This is CMake, the cross-platform, open-source make system.
CMake is free software under a BSD-like 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


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 configure 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 configure 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:
$ ./configure; 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 buildsystem:
run the installed CMake on the sources of this CMake with your prefered
options and generators. Then build it and install it.
For instructions how to do this, see http://www.cmake.org/HTML/RunningCMake.html
