Rename cmSystemTools::FindExecutableDirectory to FindCMakeResources. Teach it to compute the locations of cmake, ctest, cpack, ccmake, and cmake-gui executables, and the location of CMAKE_ROOT. Provide this information from static cmSystemTools::Get<resource>() methods. Refactor code that needs these locations to use the new APIs. Teach FindCMakeResources to use the OS X system API to lookup the executable location. When running from the CMake build tree itself, leave a file in the tree that FindCMakeResources can use to read the location of the source tree. This avoids the need to compile the source tree location into a binary that may be installed and used without the source tree. Teach the QtDialog on OS X to create a "cmake-gui" symlink in the build tree next to "cmake" and the other tools, as is already done in the install tree for the application bundle. This ensures a consistent set of executables are available in one directory.
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
