There are quite few steps to follow to successfully add your own application to the build tree:
\li Go to OpenMeshRoot/src/OpenMesh/Apps and create a new directory, say "MyOwnProject"
\li Now create a new file called "CMakeLists.txt" containing the following lines:
\include CMakeLists.txt
\include CMakeLists.txt-internal
(Remember to replace "MyProjectName" with whatever you have chosen as your project's name.
Note: If you don't want to use *.hh and *.cc as your C++ source file suffices, you'll

\page tutorial_build How to create your own project using OpenMesh and cmake
In this tutorial we will explain, how to create a new app using a pre build or
installed %OpenMesh library. We assume that you already donwloaded and installed
OpenMesh or compiled and installed it.
\li Create a folder in which you want to place the source code of your application.
\li Create a file called CMakeLists.txt containing the following lines:
\include CMakeLists.txt-external
\li We assume, that your source code is in build_cube.cc. You can take the code from \ref tutorial_01
\li Create a build directory
\li Run cmake inside the build directory. The source directory is the directory with the new CMakelists.txt file.
\li If cmake can't find OpenMesh, Set the cmake variable <b>OpenMesh_DIR</b> to the installed OpenMesh directory and add <b>share/OpenMesh/cmake</b>
\li Go to the build directory and compile your application using the generated build files
