Instructions for building with cmake

Make sure you have cmake:
  Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt-get install cmake
  Mac: http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/cmake-2.8.3-Darwin-universal.dmg
  Other platforms: http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html

To build:

  make -f Makefile.cmake
  make -f Makefile.cmake install

To run the tests:

  make -f Makefile.cmake test

To build the documentation:

  make -f Makefile.cmake doc
 
To read the documentation:

  man doc/node.1

To build distro packages (tgz, deb, rpm, PackageMaker):

  make -f Makefile.cmake package

To submit test results (see http://my.cdash.org/index.php?project=node):

  make -f Makefile.cmake cdash

To submit coverage test results:

  make -f Makefile.cmake cdash-cov

To submit valgrind test results:

  make -f Makefile.cmake cdash-mem

Using cmake directly:
  cd ~/your-node-source-dir
  mkdir name-of-build-dir     (can be anything)
  cd name-of-build-dir
  cmake ..

  At this point you have generated a set of Makefiles and can use the standard
  make commands (make, make install, etc.). The Makefile.cmake file is just a
  wrapper around these commands; take a look at it for more details.

Other build targets:
  make Experimental
  make Nightly
  make NightlyMemoryCheck
  make Continuous

Additional options:
  In the CMakeLists.txt, you'll see things like
  option(SHARED_V8, ...). If you want to enable any of those options you can
  pass "-DOPTION=True" when running cmake (e.g., cmake -DSHARED_V8=True).
