= Building on Unix with CMake =

The following instructions are dedicated to users of Unix-like systems (Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, *BSD, etc.) 

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.
