Summary

0010949: Tutorial has two fatal errors on Mac and Linux

Description

Using cmake 2.8.2 from fink on Mac OSX 10.6. Also tried on Ubuntu 10.4.

As a new user, I've tried to work through the tutorial on the web page and hit a couple things that didn't work and a bunch of things that should be tweaked for better style. This report refers to this web page:

http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake_tutorial.html [^]

CMake is looking pretty good from the beginners point of view.

-kurt

Things that break:

* CMakeLists should be CMakeLists.txt

* cmake_minumum_required (2.6) fails. The VERSION arg is missing. Should now be:

cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 2.8)

* atof missing header. On ubuntu and macosx, there needs to have stdlib:

#include <cstdlib>

Things that could be better:

* The headers are in C, not C++ style. The headers should look like this:

#include <cstdlib>
#include <cstdio>
#include <cmath>

* Would be good to have a sample command line for building. e.g.

cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" .
make VERBOSE=1
