Basic Installation
==================
- These are generic installation instructions.
+Potracegui relies on cmake to build.
- The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
-various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses
-those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package.
-It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent
-definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that
-you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, a file
-`config.cache' that saves the results of its tests to speed up
-reconfiguring, and a file `config.log' containing compiler output
-(useful mainly for debugging `configure').
+Here are suggested default options:
- If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try
-to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail
-diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can
-be considered for the next release. If at some point `config.cache'
-contains results you don't want to keep, you may remove or edit it.
+ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/opt/trinity" \
+ -DCONFIG_INSTALL_DIR="/etc/trinity" \
+ -DSYSCONF_INSTALL_DIR="/etc/trinity" \
+ -DXDG_MENU_INSTALL_DIR="/etc/xdg/menus" \
+ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo \
+ -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE="ON" \
+ -DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH="OFF" \
+ -DBUILD_ALL="ON" \
+ -DWITH_ALL_OPTIONS="ON"
- The file `configure.in' is used to create `configure' by a program
-called `autoconf'. You only need `configure.in' if you want to change
-it or regenerate `configure' using a newer version of `autoconf'.
-The simplest way to compile this package is:
- 1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
- `./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're
- using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
- `sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
- `configure' itself.
-
- Running `configure' takes a while. While running, it prints some
- messages telling which features it is checking for.
-
- 2. Type `make' to compile the package.
-
- 3. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
- documentation.
-
- 4. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
- source code directory by typing `make clean'.
-
-Compilers and Options
-=====================
-
- Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that
-the `configure' script does not know about. You can give `configure'
-initial values for variables by setting them in the environment. Using
-a Bourne-compatible shell, you can do that on the command line like
-this:
- CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix ./configure
-
-Or on systems that have the `env' program, you can do it like this:
- env CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-s ./configure
-
-Compiling For Multiple Architectures
-====================================
-
- You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the
-same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their
-own directory. To do this, you must use a version of `make' that
-supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'. `cd' to the
-directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run
-the `configure' script. `configure' automatically checks for the
-source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'.
-
- If you have to use a `make' that does not supports the `VPATH'
-variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a time
-in the source code directory. After you have installed the package for
-one architecture, use `make distclean' before reconfiguring for another
-architecture.
-
-Installation Names
-==================
-
- By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
-`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an
-installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the
-option `--prefix=PATH'.
-
- You can specify separate installation prefixes for
-architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you
-give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH', the package will use
-PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
-Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix.
-
- If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed
-with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the
-option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.
-
-Optional Features
-=================
-
- Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to
-`configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package.
-They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE
-is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System). The
-`README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the
-package recognizes.
-
- For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually
-find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't,
-you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and
-`--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations.
-
-Specifying the System Type
-==========================
-
- There may be some features `configure' can not figure out
-automatically, but needs to determine by the type of host the package
-will run on. Usually `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints
-a message saying it can not guess the host type, give it the
-`--host=TYPE' option. TYPE can either be a short name for the system
-type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name with three fields:
- CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM
-
-See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field. If
-`config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't
-need to know the host type.
-
- If you are building compiler tools for cross-compiling, you can also
-use the `--target=TYPE' option to select the type of system they will
-produce code for and the `--build=TYPE' option to select the type of
-system on which you are compiling the package.
-
-Sharing Defaults
-================
-
- If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share,
-you can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives
-default values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'.
-`configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then
-`PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists. Or, you can set the
-`CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script.
-A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script.
-
-Operation Controls
-==================
-
- `configure' recognizes the following options to control how it
-operates.
-
-`--cache-file=FILE'
- Use and save the results of the tests in FILE instead of
- `./config.cache'. Set FILE to `/dev/null' to disable caching, for
- debugging `configure'.
-
-`--help'
- Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit.
-
-`--quiet'
-`--silent'
-`-q'
- Do not print messages saying which checks are being made.
-
-`--srcdir=DIR'
- Look for the package's source code in directory DIR. Usually
- `configure' can determine that directory automatically.
-
-`--version'
- Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure'
- script, and exit.
-
-`configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options.
