      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

     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
