General BG/P Porting notes

CMake projects

• Get a version of CMake newer than July, 2010 (currently--10/22/2010--this means the development version).

• Build it:

  ./bootstrap --prefix=path
  gmake 
  gmake install
  

• Use the -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE option when crosscompiling CMake projects, e.g.:

  cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$CMAKE_PREFIX/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/Platform/BlueGeneP-static-XL-CXX.cmake
