If you find bugs and fix them PLEASE consider submitting a "Pull Request" from your fork to the official repository. This will allow the entire EMsoft community to benefit from your bug fixes.

This cmake project will build an EMsoft SDK by downloading all the necessary 3rd party libraries as prebuilt binaries or as source code and compiling those libraries.

• CMake 3.9.x installed on system
• Compiler Suite installed on system
• Fortran compiler installed on system
• Git installed on the system

Git verison 2.x is pretty much required.

1. Install your compiler tools

2. Install CMake on your system

3. Install a Fortran compiler on your system

4. Install Git on your system

5. Clone this repository onto your hard disk.

6. open a terminal and invoke the following commands

    cd EMsoftSuperbuild
    mkdir Debug
    cd Debug
    cmake -DEMsoft_SDK=/Some/Path/To/EMsoft_SDK -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../
    make -j
    cd ../
    mkdir Release
    cd Release
    cmake -DEMsoft_SDK=/Some/Path/To/EMsoft_SDK -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../
    make -j
   

Currently ONLY NMake files are supported. Visual Studio support is being looked at

7. The initial run of CMake is going to take REALLY long time because it will be downloading the full Qt 5.9.2 installer which is about 3~4 GB in size. On macOS systems it then must verify the .dmg, mount it and run the installer (which verifies the .app). Go get coffee. Compiling (the 'make -j' part) should not take that long, only about 5 minutes or so.

NOTE: there is currently a known issue where the Qt5.9.2 installer will NOT actually run during the Linux cmake process. If the user does NOT want to build the GUI application then this is fine. If the user does want to build the GUI application then they will need to install Qt5.9.2 themselves. The download will be at /path/to/EMsoft_SDK/superbuild/Qt/download

The developer can use CMakeGui if they would like instead of the command lines. The only required variable are the path to where you want the EMsoft_SDK folder and the build type (Debug or Release)

Once the SDK builds correctly, no errors are reported on the command line, then the developer can proceed to clone and build EMsoft itself.
