   1 == How to build expat with cmake (experimental) ==
   2
   3 The cmake based buildsystem for expat works on Windows (cygwin, mingw, Visual
   4 Studio) and should work on all other platform cmake supports.
   5
   6 Assuming ~/expat-2.1.0 is the source directory of expat, add a subdirectory
   7 build and change into that directory:
   8 ~/expat-2.1.0$ mkdir build && cd build
   9 ~/expat-2.1.0/build$
  10
  11 From that directory, call cmake first, then call make, make test and
  12 make install in the usual way:
  13 ~/expat-2.1.0/build$ cmake ..
  14 -- The C compiler identification is GNU
  15 -- The CXX compiler identification is GNU
  16 ....
  17 -- Configuring done
  18 -- Generating done
  19 -- Build files have been written to: /home/patrick/expat-2.1.0/build
  20
  21 If you want to specify the install location for your files, append
  22 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/your/install/path to the cmake call.
  23
  24 ~/expat-2.1.0/build$ make && make test && make install

  33 For Windows builds, you must make sure to call cmake from an environment where
  34 your compiler is reachable, that means either you call it from the
  35 Visual Studio Command Prompt or when using mingw, you must open a cmd.exe and
  36 make sure that gcc can be called. On Windows, you also might want to specify a
  37 special Generator for CMake:
  38 for Visual Studio builds do:
  39 cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 10" && vcexpress expat.sln
  40 for mingw builds do:
  41 cmake .. -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=D:\expat-install
  42     && gmake && gmake install
