[Insight-developers] CMake Linux binary instructions

[Bill Hoffman]

Actually, you can untar the file in any directory and cmake will work.
What automated installation process would you suggest for unix?
Is there a standard?   

Would changing the README help?


Current README looks like this:
CMake 1.4 binary for x86-linux-static

Extract the file "cmake-1.4-x86-linux-static.tar" into your
destination directory.  The following files will be extracted:

bin/cmake
....


I guess it could be a bit more verbose.   Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks.

Looking at the Readme now, I take it that simply going to /usr and doing tar -xzvf will do the right thing. However, when I first tried to do it, it was unclear to me what a good candidate was for the destination directory.

It is ironic that building and installing from source (which is what I ended up doing) requires less specialized knowledge than installing the precompiled binaries.  Unsophisticated users such as myself are likely to try the precompiled binaries first.
