+The CMake configuration for codec2 should be considered experimental at
+this time but has been thouroughly tested on Fedora Linux and cross-compiling
+from linux to windows with mingw and has many advanages over the autotools
+config.
+
+- Builds against system libraries (default).
+- Has experimental NSIS packaing support for Windows (WIN32) targets. *nix
+ systems should rely on 'make install' as the packages (RPM & DEB) created by
+ CPack are questionable.
+
+==========================
+ Building and installing
+==========================
+
+ To test the cmake build make a directory anywhere underneath (or outside of)
+the source directory.
+
+Linux command line example:
+
+$ cd /path/to/codec2
+$ mkdir build_linux
+$ cd build_linux
+$ cmake ../ (defaults to /usr/local, use CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to override)
+(if no errors)
+$ make
+(as root)
+$ make install
#set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake)
# Work around for not using a svn working copy.
