A ccmake walk-through for the impatients

Assume that CVS_DIET_HOME represents a path to the top level directory of DIET sources. This DIET sources directories tree can be obtained by DIET users by expanding the DIET current source level distribution tarball. But for the DIET developers this directories tree simply corresponds to the directory GRAAL/devel/diet/diet of a cvs checkout of the DIET sources hierarchy. Additionally, assume we created a build tree directory and cd to it (in the example below we chose CVS_DIET_HOME/Bin as build tree, but feel free to follow your conventions):

• cd CVS_DIET_HOME/Bin
• ccmake .. to enter the GUI
  • press c (equivalent of bootstrap.sh of the autotools)
  • toggle the desired options e.g. DIET_BUILD_EXAMPLES or DIET_USE_JXTA.
  • specify the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX parameter (if you wish to install in a directory different from /usr/local)
  • press c again, for checking required dependencies
  • check all the parameters preceded with the * (star) character whose value was automatically retrieved by cmake.
  • provide the required information i.e. fill in the proper values for all parameters whose value is terminated by NOT-FOUND
  • iterate the above process of parameter checking, toggle/specification and configuration until all configuration information is satisfied
  • press g to generate the makefile
  • press q to exit ccmake
• make in order to classically launch the compilation process
• make install when installation is required
