Building for Windows Platforms with CMake
The following procedure assumes that you have downloaded and extracted CMake and that you have created a subdirectory where the output of cmake will be stored within the directory that contains your source files. To build for a Windows platform using CMake, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to the subdirectory that you created for running cmake.
2. Run cmake -G to display a list of all the IDE’s that you can choose.
3. Run cmake -G "Visual Studio 11 2012" ..., using any configuration options that you may require.
