 ====== CMake tutorial ====== ====== CMake tutorial ======
 +CMake is a cross-platform build system with many nice features.
 +It generates platform specific build files, such as Makefiles or Visual Studio project files during configuration.
  
 +It supports multiple targets, e.g. out-of-tree configurations and builds (simply configure from multiple build directories).

 +To make configuration options, either use the ''cmake'', ''cmake-gui'' or supply additional commands directly
 +  cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-Werror" ~/oofem/
 +  
 +In order to use a different compiler you need to start a new clean configuration (from an empty directory) and supply the new compiler using ''-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER''
 +  mkdir -p ~/build/clang/
 +  cd ~/build/clang/
 +  cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ ~/oofem/
 +  make
 +  ctest
 +//**Note:** After initial configuration, you cannot change compiler. If you install a new version of GCC, you will need to remove the build directory and do the configuration again. Just doing ''make clean'' isn't enough.//
 +
 +=== Tips: ===
 +* The build process usually hides the compiler command lines, to show them, use
 +
 +   $ make VERBOSE=1

 +==== KDevelop ====
 +The KDevelop IDE has build in support for CMake projects (and GIT). It includes a graphical configuration of multiple targets. Simply choose to import a project, and select CMakeLists.txt from the source directory
 +You can then open the configuration from the menu and make your choices:
 +
 +{{:kdevelop_cmake.png}}
 +
 +==== Python bindings ====
 +With CMake, it is also possible to create shared library loadable as Python module. You need CMake version at least 2.8.8 and two additional cmake parameters ( ''-DUSE_SHARED_LIB=ON'' and ''-DUSE_PYTHON_BINDINGS=ON'' ). After standard ''make'' procedure, ''liboofem.so'' file is created in ''build'' directory. From python it can be loaded and use like this:
 +  import sys
 +  sys.path.append("/path/to/build/directory") # path where liboofem.so was created
 +  import liboofem
 +  
 +  a = liboofem.FloatArray(2)
 +  a[1] = 15.0
 +  a[0] = 10.0
 +  print a[0], a[1]

 +  - Install CMake (tested with version 3.3.2) 
 +  - Install a new mingw-w64 (tested with version 5.2.0). It has support for 32-bit if necessary. MinGW-w64 version is selected from a [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/|GUI installer]].  
 +  - Run $ mingw32-make.exe -v 
 +  - Run a batch e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\mingw-w64\i686-5.2.0-posix-dwarf-rt_v4-rev1\mingw-w64.bat which opens a new terminal. In that terminal, we have already PATH to mingw32-make.exe. If the PATH is already set up, any terminal would work. 
 +  - Create directory, e.g. mkdir C:\oofem\optimized and cd under optimized. 
 +  - Run cmake with flags, e.g. $ cmake.exe -G"MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -DUSE_SHARED_LIB="OFF" -DUSE_IML="ON" -DUSE_DSS="ON" .. 
 +  - Run mingw32-make.exe -j 3 to compile 
 +  - If you want smooth transfer of oofem.exe to another windows computer, you need to put all *.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\mingw-w64\i686-5.2.0-posix-dwarf-rt_v4-rev1\mingw32\bin in the same directory as oofem.exe. 
 +  - Run $ctest for checking OOFEM tests
