expat 2.1.0

    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
   25: Scanning dependencies of target expat

   31: -- Installing: /usr/local/share/man/man1/xmlwf.1
   32: 
   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
