# Overview {#cmake_overview}
Corrected parallel support in CMake, including library checks and parallel IO tests. Updated CMake-related documentation.
2013-02-13 06:22:54 +08:00
Added information to RELEASE_NOTES to reflect the 'release candidate' status of the current release. Added information about needing to generate configure scripts with 'autoreconf'. Updated Building with CMake documentation, moved 4.3.0 errata to a place of less prominence.
2013-08-10 01:14:07 +08:00
Starting with netCDF-C 4.3.0, we are happy to announce the inclusion of CMake support. CMake will allow for building netCDF on a wider range of platforms, include Microsoft Windows with Visual Studio. CMake support also provides robust unit and regression testing tools. We will also maintain the standard autotools-based build system in parallel.
Corrected parallel support in CMake, including library checks and parallel IO tests. Updated CMake-related documentation.
2013-02-13 06:22:54 +08:00
In addition to providing new build options for netCDF-C, we will also provide pre-built binary downloads for the shared versions of netCDF for use with Visual Studio.
o Fixed the SOVERSION for CMake-based builds. o Updated autotools-based build to include files required for CMake-based builds. o Updated Markdown-based documentation processed by Doxygen to include a CMake FAQ.

# The CMake Build Process {#cmake_build}
Corrected parallel support in CMake, including library checks and parallel IO tests. Updated CMake-related documentation.
2013-02-13 06:22:54 +08:00
There are four steps in the Build Process when using CMake
1. Configuration: Before compiling, the software is configured based on the desired options.
2. Building: Once configuration is complete, the libraries are compiled.
3. Testing: Post-build, it is possible to run tests to ensure the functionality of the netCDF-C libraries.
4. Installation: If all tests pass, the libraries can be installed in the location specified during configuration.
For users who prefer pre-built binaries, installation packages are available at \ref winbin

2013-02-13 06:22:54 +08:00
The output of the configuration step is a project file based on the appropriate configurator specified. Common configurators include:
* Unix Makefiles
* Visual Studio
* CodeBlocks
* ... and others

2013-06-05 01:33:21 +08:00
The easiest configuration case would be one in which all of the dependent libraries are installed on the system path (in either Unix/Linux or Windows) and all the default options are desired. From the build directory (often, but not required to be located within the source directory):
Fixed some markdown syntax errors on the 'building with cmake' document.

2013-06-05 01:33:21 +08:00
If you have libraries installed in a custom directory, you may need to specify the **CMAKE\_PREFIX_PATH** variable to tell cmake where the libraries are installed. For example:
