Assume, you have AMDiS downloaded in the directory
<pclass="desc">
/home/joe/work/
</p>
<preclass="desc">
${HOME}/work/ </pre>
, the AMDiS source directory is
<pclass="desc">
/home/joe/work/amdis/AMDiS
</p>
. To configure and compile AMDiS I recommend to create a directory
. To configure and compile AMDiS I recommend using out of source builds. This means, you should create a directory amdis_build
<preclass="desc">
mkdir ${HOME}/work/amdis_build </pre>
and do the remaining work from there.
<preclass="desc">
cd ${HOME}/work/amdis_build </pre>
The simplest configuration of AMDiS, i.e. without umfpack and parallelization, only sets the install destination to the directory "${HOME}/programs/". To do this, you have to call cmake with your install destination and the AMDiS source directory as commandline arguments
Compilation and installation is the same as with automake/autoconf:
<pclass="desc">
make ; make install
</p>
The last command will install AMDiS to /home/joe/programs
<preclass="desc">
make && make install </pre>
The last command will install AMDiS to ${HOME}/programs

If you only want to build with standard options, you can simply run
<verbatim> cmake . </verbatim>
<h2><aname="using"> Using the cmake installed AMDiS in your project </a></h2>
A cmake-project consists of the source files and a file CMakeLists.txt, which contains a description of needed libraries, headers and programs. If you have a simple project with one program "fooProg", which have to compile only one source file "src/foo.cc", your CMakeLists.txt consist of the following lines:
tell cmake the name of your project and that you whish to use only cmake versions newer than 2.8.<br>
The line
<pclass="desc">
find_package(AMDiS REQUIRED)
</p>
<preclass="desc">
find_package(AMDIS REQUIRED)
</pre>
tells cmake, that you want to use AMDiS and it should complain if AMDiS was not found. CMake will print an error message, bu will not stop the execution! With the command
<pclass="desc">
include(${AMDiS_USE_FILE})
</p>
<preclass="desc">
include(${AMDIS_USE_FILE})
</pre>
we read an AMDiS specific configuration file, which sets some compilerflags and adds the include directorys. The program is added with
<pclass="desc">
<preclass="desc">
add_executable(fooProg src/foo.cc)
</p>
</pre>
and we have to tell cmake, that we need the library amdis and each library amdis depends on. This is done with the command
<pclass="desc">
<preclass="desc">
target_link_libraries(fooProg ${AMDIS_LIBRARIES})
</p>
</pre>
If cmake does not find AMDiS, you have to set the variable AMDIS_DIR to the directory containing the file AMDiSConfig.cmake. This file resides in
<pclass="desc">
$CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/share/amdis/
</p>
<preclass="desc">
${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/share/amdis/
</pre>
where CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is the directory you choose during installation of amdis.
