CMake installation and usage for Windows.
Installing CMake
Note: As of version 3.4, CMake requires administrative privilege to install even when selecting your home directory as the location. If you want to install CMake on a UMIACS-supported system (i.e. you are a non-admin), please send mail to staff to schedule a time where we can stop by and provide admin credentials.
- Retrieve the appropriate binary from https://www.cmake.org/download.
- Start the installer and choose a directory within your home directory.
- You can choose to automatically modify the PATH variable so you can call CMake from the command line.
Using CMake
There are 2 options:
- Use CMake from the command line if it has been added to your path.
- Use the CMake GUI located in the bin directory within the install directory.
Configuring the Compiler Option:
- With the GUI: Click configure and choose the compiler which has been installed on your system (some version of Visual Studio).
- With the command line: Pass in the right compiler using the -G option. Typing cmake without any options will also display basic help.
