| == How to build expat with cmake (experimental) == | |
| The cmake based buildsystem for expat works on Windows (cygwin, mingw, Visual | |
| Studio) and should work on all other platform cmake supports. | |
| Assuming ~/expat-2.1.0 is the source directory of expat, add a subdirectory | |
| build and change into that directory: | |
| ~/expat-2.1.0$ mkdir build && cd build | |
| ~/expat-2.1.0/build$ | |
| From that directory, call cmake first, then call make, make test and | |
| make install in the usual way: | |
| ~/expat-2.1.0/build$ cmake .. | |
| -- The C compiler identification is GNU | |
| -- The CXX compiler identification is GNU | |
| .... | |
| -- Configuring done | |
| -- Generating done | |
| -- Build files have been written to: /home/patrick/expat-2.1.0/build | |
| If you want to specify the install location for your files, append | |
| -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/your/install/path to the cmake call. | |
| ~/expat-2.1.0/build$ make && make test && make install | |

| For Windows builds, you must make sure to call cmake from an environment where | |
| your compiler is reachable, that means either you call it from the | |
| Visual Studio Command Prompt or when using mingw, you must open a cmd.exe and | |
| make sure that gcc can be called. On Windows, you also might want to specify a | |
| special Generator for CMake: | |
| for Visual Studio builds do: | |
| cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 10" && vcexpress expat.sln | |
| for mingw builds do: | |
| cmake .. -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=D:\expat-install | |
| && gmake && gmake install |
