Latest Release (2.6.4)

The 2.6.4 release was packaged with CPack which is included as part of the 2.6.4 release. The .sh files are self extracting gziped tar files. To install a .sh file, run it with /bin/sh and follow the directions. The OS-machine.tar.gz files are gziped tar files of the install tree. The OS-machine.tar.Z files are compressed tar files of the install tree. The tar file distributions can be untared in any directory. They are prefixed by the version of CMake. For example, the SunOS-sparc tar file is all under the directory cmake-2.6.2-SunOS-sparc. This prefix can be removed as long as the share, bin, man and doc directories are moved relative to each other.

To build the source distributions, unpack them with zip or tar and follow the instructions in Readme.txt at the top of the source tree.

Current development distribution

Each night a windows binary is created as part of the testing process. Other than passing all of the tests in CMake, this version of CMake should not be expected to work in a production environment. It is being produced so that users can test bug fixes done in CVS without having to build cmake. This is only done for windows since building CMake from source on Linx/UNIX is trivial and does not require purchasing a compiler.

Nightly CVS Windows Binary Link
HTTP http://www.cmake.org/files/vCVS

If you want to build from source, you can always download the source code by using CVS. CVS is a source code revision control system used by many participants in the open-source community.

To use CVS, you must have it installed on your system. You may wish to use the Cygwin tools on Windows platforms, or Tortoise CVS which provides a very nice GUI to CVS.

On UNIX, one may use the bootstrap script provided in the source tree to build CMake.

In order to build the windows version of CMake you will need a current binary installation of CMake to bootstrap the build process. If you are building on windows and want the CMakeSetup GUI to be built, you must have a compiler that has MFC library support. Use the above download link to get it.

The source is accessed by checking out a read-only version of the CMake source code:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@www.cmake.org:/cvsroot/CMake login
(respond with password cmake)

Follow this command by checking out the source code:
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@www.cmake.org:/cvsroot/CMake co CMake

One may also browse the CVS Repository Online
