CMake is a cross-platform free software program for managing the build process of software using a compiler-independent method.
Generating the Makefiles with CMake
After changing into the build ecflow directory, the user has to run CMake with his/her own options. The command gives feedback on what requirements are fulfilled and what software is still required. Table below gives an overview of the different options of configure. The default (without any options) will compile a share library only and install it in /usr/local/.
cmake options | doc | default |
|---|---|---|
| CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX | where you want to install your Magics library | /usr/local |
| CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE | to select the type of compilation:
| ? |
| CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS | More flags for the C++ compiler | |
| ENABLE_PYTHON | enable python interface | on |
| ENABLE_GUI | enable build of ecflowview | on |
| BOOST_ROOT | where to find boost ( if non-standard installation ) If not specified cmake will look for an environment variable of the same name. |
If auto, CMake will try to enable the feature, but will not fail if it can not.
The C++ compilers are chosen by CMake. (This can be overwritten by setting the environment variables CXX on the command line before you call cmake, to the preferred compiler). Further the variable CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS can be used to set compiler flags for optimisation or debugging.
