showeq

How do I build the cmake bzr branch of showeq?

Asked by Bob Tanner

The default build for the ubuntu and debian packages still uses the autotools. I have a dream that we can dump autotools and start using cmake. Document how to get, configure, and build showeq using the cmake tool.

If you would like an interactive configuration of cmake (recommended) run 'cmake -i', this will let you adjust many of cmakes defaults.

If you trust my defaults (/usr/local install) you can do a 'cmake -i < /dev/null'
