CMAKE

-----

Win32 binaries (both 32- and 64-bit) can be built using CMake.  CMake is an

open-source tool like automake - it generates makefiles.

Some preliminary work has been done to make this work on other platforms, but

the support is not yet complete.

CMake will generate:

  Borland Makefiles

  MSYS Makefiles

  MinGW Makefiles

  NMake Makefiles

  Unix Makefiles

  . Visual Studio project files

    Visual Studio 6

    Visual Studio 7

    Visual Studio 7 .NET 2003

    Visual Studio 8 2005

    Visual Studio 8 2005 Win64

    Visual Studio 9 2008

    Visual Studio 9 2008 Win64

  Watcom WMake

BUILD PROCESS

-------------

 . install cmake (cmake.org)

 . add directory containing cmake.exe to %PATH%

 . run cmake from the gc root directory, passing the target with -G:

   e.g.,

      > cmake -G "Visual Studio 8 2005"

   use the gc.sln file generated by cmake to build gc

 . you can also run cmake from a build directory to build outside of

   the source tree. Just specify the path to the source tree:

   e.g.,

      > mkdir build

      > cd build

      > cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 8 2005"

INPUT

-----

The main input to cmake are the CMakeLists.txt files in each directory.  For

help, goto cmake.org.
