-----------------------------------
Summary: Incorporate CMake into standard documentation
Key: MESOS-3139
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-3139
Project: Mesos
Issue Type: Task
Components: build
Reporter: Alex Clemmer
Assignee: Alex Clemmer
Right now it's anyone's guess how to build with CMake. If we want people to use
it, we should put up documentation. The central challenge is that the CMake
instructions will be slightly different for different platforms.
For example, on Linux, the gist of the build is basically the same as
autotools; you pull down the system dependencies (like APR, _etc_.), and then:
```
./bootstrap
mkdir build-cmake && cd build-cmake
cmake ..
make
```
But, on Windows, it will be somewhat more complicated. There is no bootstrap
step, for example, because Windows doesn't have bash natively. And even when we
put that in, you'll still have to build the glog stuff out-of-band because
CMake has no way of booting up Visual Studio and calling "build."
So practically, we need to figure out:
* What our build story is for different platforms
* Write specific instructions for our "core" target platforms.
