 This article describes how to use [http://www.cmake.org CMake] build system to build and install GEOS from sources.
 
-GEOS has got equipped with configuration for CMake shortly after [milestone:3.2.0 GEOS 3.2.0] release (ticket #317), thus it is considered as work in progress, experimental. Hopefully, it will get into next release of [milestone:3.3.0 GEOS 3.3.0] version.

+
+== Requirements ==
+
+ * [http://www.cmake.org CMake] 2.6 or later
+ * Decent C++ compiler and C++ Standard Library, [http://gcc.gnu.org/ GNU GCC] 4.x recommended
+ * GEOS source code. Currently, only source code in SVN [source:trunk trunk] is configured for CMake
+
+== Configuring ==
+
+
+Important, it is highly recommended to configure build out of source code tree.
+
+{{{
+ $ svn checkout http://svn.osgeo.org/geos/trunk trunk
+ $ mkdir build
+ $ ls
+ build trunk
+ $ cd build
+ $ cmake ../trunk
+}}}
+
+There is collection of [http://cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html#section_Variables CMake variables] available to set by user to control various aspects of compilation and installation. For instance ''CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX'' variable which by default is set to ''/usr/local'' directory.

+== Building ==

+{{{
+$ make
