COMPILING INSTRUCTIONS
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
This project uses the CMake (http://www.cmake.org) cross-platform build system.
|
|
To compile this project, you will have to make sure you have CMake installed.
|
|
Binary and source distributions of CMake can be found at
|
|
http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Download.html. If it exists for your platform, we
|
|
highly recommend using a binary distribution.
|
|
|
|
Once CMake is installed, you are ready to build this project. We highly
|
|
recommend reading the documentation on
|
|
http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Documentation.html if you are not familiar with this
|
|
process.
|
|
|
|
Here is a summary of the build:
|
|
|
|
* Run one of the CMake user interfaces.
|
|
* Change configuration options.
|
|
* Compile (make on UNIX, Visual Studio on Windows).
|
|
|
|
UNIX/Linux
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
The following instructions only apply to Unix/Linux systems.
|
|
|
|
The following example shows how to use this technique to build this project on
|
|
multiple architectures. Assume we have a Solaris machine and an IRIX machine
|
|
with a shared disk with the source tarball in the home directory.
|
|
|
|
On either machine, extract the source tarball:
|
|
|
|
tar xvzf paraview-2.0.0.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
On the Solaris machine, run
|
|
|
|
mkdir paraview-2.0.0-solaris<br>
|
|
cd paraview-2.0.0-solaris<br>
|
|
ccmake ../paraview-2.0.0<br>
|
|
make && make install
|
|
|
|
Then on the IRIX machine, run
|
|
|
|
mkdir paraview-2.0.0-irix<br>
|
|
cd paraview-2.0.0-irix<br>
|
|
ccmake ../paraview-2.0.0<br>
|
|
make && make install
|
|
|
|
It is a very good idea to tell CMake what C and C++ compilers you will be
|
|
using. This can prevent many build problems. On most systems you can pass this
|
|
information to CMake in the following way:
|
|
|
|
env CXX=/your/C++/compiler CC=/your/c/compiler ccmake .
|
|
|
|
otherwise you must set CXX and CC in your environment and then run ccmake (or
|
|
cmake -i).
|
|
|
|
Windows
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
The Windows build process uses the CMake GUI CMakeSetup.
|
|
|
|
Execute CMakeSetup. This will pop-up a GUI that allows you to tailor the build.
|
|
You'll have to tell CMakeSetup where you've placed your source code, and where
|
|
to build the object code and dll's. The build directory is typically placed
|
|
next to the source directory.
|
|
|
|
When CMakeSetup completes you can build the project. If you are using Visual
|
|
Studio, start up Visual Studio and load the project file. Then select the
|
|
ALL_BUILD project, and build it. If you are using NMake Makefiles, Borland
|
|
Makefiles, Mingw, MSYS, or Cygwin, then use the appropriate make command.
