You can get it from www.cmake.org . + +First configure KPilot by running + + ./configure [options] + +If you run configure with no options it will tell you which ones +are available; you *must* provide at least one for configure to +work. A most-vanilla configure looks like this: + + ./configure --enable-tests=no + +Suggested options are at least: + + ./configure --enable-debug=yes --enable-tests=yes + +You may need to specify a prefix or a location where pilot-link +is installed; run ./configure --show for a summary of options. + +Once configure is done, compile KPilot, by running + + make -f Makefile.cmake + +in the KPilot source directory (that is the one containing this +INSTALL file). This will run CMake to generate the real Makefiles, +then run make again to build the project in a build-* subdirectory. +Once it is done, you can run + + make -f Makefile.cmake install + +to install KPilot in the KDE directory. + + + + +Advanced Installation +===================== + +In order to build KPilot somewhere else, or if the sources are on +read-only media, use CMake directly instead of using the basic +Makefile included with KPilot. To do this, + 1) Create a build directory somewhere + 2) cd into that build directory + 3) Run cmake /path/to/kpilot/sources + 4) Run make + +In order to install KPilot somewhere else, use -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX . + + |
