CMake

CMake installation and usage for Windows.

Installing CMake:

1. Retrieve the appropriate binary from http://www.cmake.org/
2. Start the installer and choose a directory within your Home directory
3. 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.
