-\subsection mac_using_cmake Compiling %OpenMesh using CMake +\subsection mac_using_cmake Compiling OpenMesh using CMake -If you're using cmake as preferred build system create a directory -named e.g. in %OpenMesh's root directory and change to it. +We recommend you to use CMake >= 2.8 as build system. This can also easily be installed +via MacPorts as well as the Qt >= 4.6 library which is used for some example applications +in %OpenMesh.
+Once installed, change to %OpenMesh's root directory and create a directory +named e.g. "buildDebug" (assuming you want to build with debug symbols).
+Then type in the following command to initially set up the build environment:

cmake ..            ## Generates the appropriate Makefiles
-make                ## Builds the project (use 'make debug' to build debug version)
-

+Note: If the build directory is not a subdirectory of %OpenMesh's root folder, replace ".." with %OpenMesh's +absolute (or relative) path. +In order to manually set specific build variables, just type: +

+ +ccmake .            ## Configure build environment
+ +
+This opens the CMake configure tool. Change the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE variable to "Release" in order to prepare build +for release configuration. Now, when everything is set up, just type: +

+ +make                ## Build %OpenMesh

The mac application bundle will be found under "Build" in the recently created build folder. It automatically contains all needed shared objects (libs, fonts, textures, etc.).
