Installation
------------
-See the "INSTALL" file for the generic instructions on how to use the build
-system. In short, it's the usual:
-
-$ ./configure
+$ mkdir build
+$ cd build
+$ cmake ..
$ make
-$ make check
$ sudo make install
-If you have libraries installed in strange places, you might want to do
-something similar to one of these instead of the first step:
-
-$ ./configure --with-opencl
-$ ./configure --with-hdf5=/some/strange/location
-$ ./configure --with-libtiff=/some/strange/location
-$ ./configure --with-gsl=/some/strange/location
-$ ./configure --disable-gtk
+You can skip the first two steps (mkdir/cd), but it's not recommended.
At a minimum, you will need the HDF5 library (version 1.8.0 or later) and the
GNU Scientific Library (GSL). For a full installation, you will also need

If you get an error mentioning fftw3 and telling you to recompile with -fPIC,
then your version of FFTW3 is not compiled in a suitable way. You'll need to
install it again (from source) adding "--enable-shared" to its ./configure
command line.
-If you are installing from Git, the following extra things apply:
-
-- You must run "./autogen.sh" to generate "configure" and other files before
- proceeding as detailed above.
-
-- If you have an old version of Automake (less than 1.10), or an old version of
- Autoconf (less than 2.60), you'll need to add the following line near the top
- of Makefile.am:
-
- docdir = ${datadir}/doc/${PACKAGE}
-
-- If your Automake version is less than 1.11, you'll need to comment out the
- reference to AM_SILENT_RULES in configure.ac, like this:
-
- dnl AM_SILENT_RULES([yes])
-
-- You will not be able to use the "--enable-gtk-doc" option to configure unless
- you have at least version 1.9 of gtk-doc installed.
