+== CMake Build commands ==
+
+CMake has several advantages over qmake or standard make files for multiplatform development. One advantage is that it lets one build out of source (which makes clean up if a build goes wrong much easer.)
+
+After installing cmake, change to the mussa source directory and do the following.
+
+{{{
+mkdir build
+cd build
+cmake ..
+make
+cd qui
+./mussagl
+}}}
+
+To run the unittests from with in the build directory type
+{{{
+make test
+}}}
+or 
+{{{
+ctest 
+}}}
+
+Some useful alternate modes for cmake are:
+{{{
+make VERBOSE=1
+}}}
+which will show the actual commands being used to compile the program, and
+{{{
+cmake -VV
+}}}
+which will show the output of the various test programs.

+Building with qmake (this can only build mussagl, it doesn't build the python interface or the unittests)
