The VS version we generate in the .sln header is used by VS when opening the file through Windows Explorer and possibly elsewhere. Fix our generators to use version strings known to VS to avoid a drop-down box. For VS 10, since commit 4f96af44 (Fix VS 10 .sln files for Windows Explorer, 2009-10-22) we use "Visual Studio 2010" instead of just "Visual Studio 10". This is correct except that for the Express edition we need "Visual C++ Express 2010". For VS 11, since commit f0d66ab4 (VS11: Fix comment generated at the top of *.sln files, 2011-10-20) we use "Visual Studio 11" in the .sln header but the preferred value is "Visual Studio 2012" (just as the first commit mentioned above fixed for VS 10). Also for the Express edition we need "Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop".
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
