The Orca Build System Note: Reviewed for release 2.9.0. Orca uses CMake to handle its build system. CMake is a cross-platform tool, designed as a replacement for autotools. Basics Builds are controlled by a set of files called 'CMakeLists.txt'. There is approximately one in each directory, and builds descend recursively through the source tree. If you just want to see how to initiate a build, see instructions on getting Orca or read the 'INSTALL' file at the top level of Orca distribution. Details The build system for orca consists of a set of 'CMakeLists.txt' files, many of which INCLUDE a set of helper .cmake files. The .cmake files live in the top-level [ORCA-SRC]/cmake directory. The top-level CMakeLists.txt file: Checks for global requirements, e.i. Ice and Hydro. Sets globally useful variables, e.g. which OS is being used, location of commonly used directories, etc. Individual components maintain their own CMakeLists.txt files. For more details see a step-by-step commentary on the CMakeLists.txt file of the example Brick component.
