<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve read good things about cmake and would like to
start using it. I spent the afternoon reading the online tutorials and
trying to get a simple hello world c++ project setup and running. I
started with the documentation at <a
href="http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Documentation.html">http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Documentation.html</a>
and first followed the “Installing CMake” tutorial which was straight
forward enough. I then tried following the “Running CMake”
tutorial and things started falling apart. There seemed to be a number of
mandatory steps missing from the tutorial. Before I throw in the towel, is
there a recent tutorial that walks through setting up an entire project from
beginning to end using the latest cmake and running under Vista(VS 2005 via
nmake)?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>As I know some will ask, a few of the items that weren’t
addressed in the tutorial included:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>-<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]>Instructions to run the CMakeSetup.exe w/o having first
created the CMakeLists.txt file in the src directory.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>-<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]>No mention that CMake must be run in an environment
where the Visual Studio vcvars.bat has been executed (which isn’t likely
if you are running the GUI from the start menu).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>-<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]>No mention of security issues related to Vista.
After attempting to run several programs as Administrator and still failing, I
gave up after spending a fair amount of time w/ google looking for answers.
Vista seems to be introducing the most problems as a result of improved
security.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Any links to recent tutorials would be very appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Thank you.<o:p></o:p></p>
