[CMake] newbee on cmake/installing problem

[Michael Wild]

Just to be very clear and to avoid misunderstandings, I'm going to walk you through the steps of installing CMake. Comments will be prefixed by a # sign.

# create a download directory
mkdir -p ~/Downloads

# change directory to the downloads location
cd ~/Downloads

# do the actual download (or place the .tar.gz file in ~/Downloads)
wget http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/cmake-2.8.0.tar.gz

# unpack it
tar xzf cmake-2.8.0.tar.gz

# create a build directory and cd there
mkdir cmake-2.8.0-build
cd cmake-2.8.0-build

# bootstrap cmake (replace the prefix directory)
sh ../cmake-2.8.0/bootstrap --prefix=$HOME/software

# build and install cmake
make
make install

# make it available (if $PREFIX/bin not in PATH and using bash shell)
echo "export PATH=$HOME/software/bin:$PATH" >> ~/bashrc
. ~/.bashrc


I hope this helps

Michael
