== How to build expat with cmake (experimental) ==
|
|
|
|
The cmake based buildsystem for expat works on Windows (cygwin, mingw, Visual
|
|
Studio) and should work on all other platform cmake supports.
|
|
|
|
Assuming ~/expat-2.4.5 is the source directory of expat, add a subdirectory
|
|
build and change into that directory:
|
|
~/expat-2.4.5$ mkdir build && cd build
|
|
~/expat-2.4.5/build$
|
|
|
|
From that directory, call cmake first, then call make, make test and
|
|
make install in the usual way:
|
|
~/expat-2.4.5/build$ cmake ..
|
|
-- The C compiler identification is GNU
|
|
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU
|
|
....
|
|
-- Configuring done
|
|
-- Generating done
|
|
-- Build files have been written to: /home/patrick/expat-2.4.5/build
|
|
|
|
If you want to specify the install location for your files, append
|
|
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/your/install/path to the cmake call.
|
|
|
|
~/expat-2.4.5/build$ make && make test && make install
|

For Windows builds, you must make sure to call cmake from an environment where
|
|
your compiler is reachable, that means either you call it from the
|
|
Visual Studio Command Prompt or when using mingw, you must open a cmd.exe and
|
|
make sure that gcc can be called. On Windows, you also might want to specify a
|
|
special Generator for CMake:
|
|
for Visual Studio builds do:
|
|
cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" && msbuild /m expat.sln
|
|
for mingw builds do:
|
|
cmake .. -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=D:\expat-install
|
|
&& gmake && gmake install
