Intro

Normaly develo.py will bootstrap the actual cmake process for you, but you may wish to override certain operations. The Debian build for example does not use develo.py but calls cmake directly.

The typical invocation of cmake will look like the following :-

cmake -G "Visual Studio 7 .NET 2003" -DUNATTENDED:BOOl=FALSE -DSTANDALONE:BOOL=FALSE "" "c:\\secondlife\\Release\\release\\indra

Generators

The -G option of cmake specifies the generator to be used (the target to build project file for). The Secondlife viewer cmake currently supports the following targets :-

Windows

• VC71
• VC2003 (default)
• VC80 (VS2005)
• VC90 (VS2008)

Linuxoids

• Unix Makefiles (default)
• KDevelop3

Mac

• Xcode (default)
• Unix Makefiles

Variables

cmake variables are passed on the command line with the -D option, followed by the variable name, a seperation colon, the type of variable then =value for example :-

-DSTANDALONE:BOOL=FALSE

Variable name STANDALONE

Type BOOL

value FALSE

STANDALONE	BOOL	Sets the build to standalone mode, if enabled the build will try to use system provided libraries instead of the ones from the libs tarball.
UNATTENDED	BOOL	Normally set to false, Internal option for Linden Labs building???
INSTALL	BOOL	Enable Unix install target
INSTALL_PREFIX	STRING	(Unix install target) Installation directory for read-only shared files
INSTALL_LIBRARY_DIR	STRING	(Unix install target) Installation directory for binaries
INSTALL_SHARE_DIR	STRING	(Unix install target) Installation directory for read-only data files
FMOD_SDK_DIR	STRING	Set location of FMOD API files to save copying into build tree
