1 == How to build expat with cmake (experimental) == 2 3 The cmake based buildsystem for expat works on Windows (cygwin, mingw, Visual 4 Studio) and should work on all other platform cmake supports. 5 6 Assuming ~/expat-2.1.0 is the source directory of expat, add a subdirectory 7 build and change into that directory: 8 ~/expat-2.1.0$ mkdir build && cd build 9 ~/expat-2.1.0/build$ 10 11 From that directory, call cmake first, then call make, make test and 12 make install in the usual way: 13 ~/expat-2.1.0/build$ cmake .. 14 -- The C compiler identification is GNU 15 -- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 16 .... 17 -- Configuring done 18 -- Generating done 19 -- Build files have been written to: /home/patrick/expat-2.1.0/build 20 21 If you want to specify the install location for your files, append 22 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/your/install/path to the cmake call. 23 24 ~/expat-2.1.0/build$ make && make test && make install 25 Scanning dependencies of target expat 26 [ 5%] Building C object CMakeFiles/expat.dir/lib/xmlparse.c.o 27 [ 11%] Building C object CMakeFiles/expat.dir/lib/xmlrole.c.o 28 .... 29 -- Installing: /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/expat.pc 30 -- Installing: /usr/local/bin/xmlwf 31 -- Installing: /usr/local/share/man/man1/xmlwf.1 32 33 For Windows builds, you must make sure to call cmake from an environment where 34 your compiler is reachable, that means either you call it from the 35 Visual Studio Command Prompt or when using mingw, you must open a cmd.exe and 36 make sure that gcc can be called. On Windows, you also might want to specify a 37 special Generator for CMake: 38 for Visual Studio builds do: 39 cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 10" && vcexpress expat.sln 40 for mingw builds do: 41 cmake .. -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=D:\expat-install 42 && gmake && gmake install 43
