+== How to build expat with cmake (experimental) ==

+

+The cmake based buildsystem for expat works on Windows (cygwin, mingw, Visual 

+Studio) and should work on all other platform cmake supports.

+

+Assuming ~/expat-2.1.0 is the source directory of expat, add a subdirectory

+build and change into that directory:

+~/expat-2.1.0$ mkdir build && cd build

+~/expat-2.1.0/build$

+

+From that directory, call cmake first, then call make, make test and 

+make install in the usual way:

+~/expat-2.1.0/build$ cmake ..

+-- The C compiler identification is GNU

+-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU

+....

+-- Configuring done

+-- Generating done

+-- Build files have been written to: /home/patrick/expat-2.1.0/build

+

+If you want to specify the install location for your files, append 

+-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/your/install/path to the cmake call.

+

+~/expat-2.1.0/build$ make && make test && make install

+Scanning dependencies of target expat

+-- Installing: /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/expat.pc

+-- Installing: /usr/local/share/man/man1/xmlwf.1

+

+For Windows builds, you must make sure to call cmake from an environment where 

+your compiler is reachable, that means either you call it from the 

+Visual Studio Command Prompt or when using mingw, you must open a cmd.exe and

+make sure that gcc can be called. On Windows, you also might want to specify a 

+special Generator for CMake:

+for Visual Studio builds do: 

+cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 10" && vcexpress expat.sln

+for mingw builds do: 

+cmake .. -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=D:\expat-install 

+    && gmake && gmake install
