Brad King 9f43fa602d Report expanded arguments in if() command errors
The if() command reports its arguments at the beginning of some error
messages.  Originally it reported the un-expanded form of the arguments
because in ancient CMake versions no context information was available.
Now it is more useful to see the real arguments, which may be mentioned
in the main error message.  Since full context information is now
available, users can refer back to the source if they need to see the
unexpanded form of the arguments.

For example, the code

  set(regex "++")
  if("x" MATCHES "${regex}")
  endif()

now produces the message

  if given arguments:

    "x" "MATCHES" "++"

  Regular expression "++" cannot compile

instead of

  if given arguments

    "x" MATCHES "${regex}"

  Regular expression "++" cannot compile

Templates Add '#!/bin/sh' to cygwin-package.sh 2009-10-05 10:28:57 -04:00
Tests Add test to enable detecting differences between generation N and N+1 of a cmake generated build tree. Theoretically, each generation run with exactly the same arguments should be identical to the previous generation... Practically, there are differences. This is a tool to help us measure those differences. For now, the test always succeeds. Eventually, we may add the code to make it fail when there are differences. 2009-10-26 16:09:27 -04:00
Utilities change to a new version of qt. 2009-10-26 11:39:35 -04:00

CMakeCPack.cmake Remove MFC libraries from install tree. 2009-09-28 13:40:49 -04:00
CMakeCPackOptions.cmake.in Use cmake-gui.exe for the install/uninstall icon for cmake. 2009-09-25 11:26:28 -04:00
CMakeGraphVizOptions.cmake ENH: Add a way to overwrite some preferences and ignore certain targets 2006-03-07 15:31:05 -05:00
CMakeLists.txt Add test of all available CPack generators. Add this test with the goal of increasing coverage of the cpack source code, even/especially when the underlying packager tool is not installed. The test does not fail if there is a cpack problem with a certain generator. I expect some generators will fail on every machine running a CMake dashboard. 2009-10-20 14:31:10 -04:00

CTestCustom.cmake.in Exclude Qt source files from coverage results. 2009-10-24 13:11:03 -04:00
CTestCustom.ctest.in ENH: Create CTestCustom.cmake instead of CTestCustom.ctest. Create the old file to include the new one for compatibility. This should prevent the long delays of CTest traversing the whole tree looking for CTestCustom.ctest files. 2007-08-31 14:51:09 -04:00

Readme.txt

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
