Version 3.0
February 18, 2006
We've added the ability to build with CMake to simplify building xlisp on your
system. The way that we expect this to work on Linux systems using make would
be to first make a build directory. For this walkthrough we'll say that we
start in the xlisp directory:
cd ..
mkdir build
cd build
ccmake ../xlispSo, now we have made a build directory outside of xlisp, so that the build
products don't get strewn all over our pristine source. The ccmake command is
a curses front end to CMake that I like. In ccmake you would first
configure (with "c"), then select your build type (typically "Release"), then
configure again, then generate (with "g"). You will then be back in your
shell, where makefiles have been set up for you. (CMake isn't constrained to
only makefiles, but can also be instructed to generate most other kinds of
build files). After that you can:
make
# and then, either:
make install
# or
make packageWith the CMake file we have in there, it also has a "package" target, which
will most likely result in a gzipped tar file of the build products. It is also
possible to alter the CMakeLists.txt file to generate other package types,
such as *.rpm, *.deb, etc.
