Hi Steve,
First of all, the build on Ubuntu 12.10 worked without any issues … except that I had to compile CMake 2.8.10
As you’re cleaning up the CMake installation I thought it would be nice I could easily cleanup the files generated by CMake.
There is “make clean”, which didn’t help and “cmake clean” doesn’t exist. But it’s actually very easy to do this with “out-of-source build”:
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ#Out-of-source_build_trees
mkdir mybuild && cd mybuild
cmake …/.
And everything is in the “mybuild” directory and can be cleaned up with “rm -Rf mybuild”.
There are two small things I don’t like:
- Couldn’t this somehow be part of the cmake configuration, so it uses a build directory even cmake is run in project root (“cmake …/.” looks a bit weird, too) … will try to find if this is possible.
- I think “build” would be the best name for such a directory name, but it’s already used with your notes how to build on Windows. Could we change your current build directory to some other name, for example “dists/windows” … or any better name. I just didn’t have a good idea.
Anyway, even if (1) isn’t possible I would like to change the documentation to “out-of-source build” style.
Daniel
