CMake

CMake is a build tool commonly used when compiling other libraries.

Usage

CMake can be loaded with one of:

module load CMake/3.16.4-GCCcore-9.3.0   # compatible with foss-2021a toolchain
module load CMake/3.18.4-GCCcore-10.2.0  # compatible with foss-2021a toolchain
module load CMake/3.20.1-GCCcore-10.3.0  # compatible with foss-2021b toolchain
module load CMake/3.21.1-GCCcore-11.2.0  # compatible with foss-2022a toolchain
module load CMake/3.22.1-GCCcore-11.2.0  # compatible with foss-2022a toolchain
module load CMake/3.23.1-GCCcore-11.3.0  # compatible with foss-2022b toolchain
module load CMake/3.24.3-GCCcore-12.2.0  # compatible with foss-2022b toolchain

module load CMake/3.24.3-GCCcore-11.3.0
module load CMake/3.24.3-GCCcore-12.2.0

CMake has a run-time dependency on libstdc++ so the cmake module files depend on and load particular versions of the GCC compiler, plus versions of the ncurses, zlib, bzip2 and cURL libraries.

Usage of CMake often involves:

Creating and cd-ing into a dedicated build directory within a source tree then
Running something like cmake -DSOME_OPTION -DANOTHER_OPTION ..
