Compiling with cmake:
1. Create a build directory. I usually create it inside the source directory which technically is an out of source build, though actually the directory is in the source tree, but the build files are not mixing with
the source.
Change into the build directory afterward
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
2. Run CMake to create the Makefile. Pay attention to the two dots. They must be present because they point to the source directory with the
CMakeLists.txt file.
$ cmake ..
In case mtca4u is not installed as a system library you probably have
to define the path to the deviceaccess library
$ cmake .. -Dmtca4u-deviceaccess_Dir=${HOME}/mtca4u/00.FIXME.00/deviceaccess/00.03.01
By default, the installation will happen to the bin directory of the
source tree. If you want to specify a different directory, specify the
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable. Note that the binary will be places in a 'bin' directory inside of this install path.
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${HOME}
The previous example will install the mtca4u exetuable to ${HOME}/bin/mtca4u
3. Compile and install
$ make
$ make install
