BenV's notes

Another note for future reference!

Unfortunately CMake is something I run into way too often these days, and since I can never remember how to tell it to do certain shit, here’s how.
They should give me a configure along with the product.

The equivalent of

./configure --prefix=/usr
=>
export CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr


Destdir seems something CMAKE does understand, so just

export DESTDIR=`pwd`/tmp

and it’ll work just fine.

Finally, for the interactive configuration of something we have:

cmake -i


I can’t for the life of me begin to imagine why anyone would use cmake as an autoconf alternative. (continue reading…)
