-\subsection installSimgrid_compiling Compiling SimGrid from a stable archive
+Before start the installation, you need to be sure to have the following dependencies:
+ \li cmake 2.8 <a href="http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html">(download page)</a>
+ \li perl strawberry <a href="http://www.strawberryperl.com/download/5.12.2.0/strawberry-perl-5.12.2.0.msi">(download page)</a>
+ \li git <a href="http://msysgit.googlecode.com/files/Git-1.7.4-preview20110204.exe">(download page)</a>
+
+Then download the package <a href="https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/?group_id=12">SimGrid Installer</a>,
+execute it and follow instructions.
-First of all, you need to download the latest version of SimGrid from
-<a href="http://gforge.inria.fr/frs/?group_id=12">here</a>.
-Suppose you have uncompressed SimGrid in some temporary location of
-your home directory (say <tt>/home/joe/tmp/simgrid-3.0.1 </tt>). The
-simplest way to use SimGrid is to install it in your home
-directory. Change your directory to
-<tt>/home/joe/tmp/simgrid-3.0.1</tt> and type
+\subsection installSimgrid_Win_compile1 Compile a project "HelloWorld"
+In the SimGrid install directroy you should have an HelloWorld project to explain you how to start
+compiling a source file. There are:
\verbatim
-./configure --prefix=$HOME
-make
-make install
-\endverbatim
-
-If at some point, something fails, check the <a href="http://simgrid.gforge.inria.fr/doc/faq.html#faq_trouble_compil">FAQ section</a>. .
-If it does not help, you can report this problem to the
-list but, please, avoid sending a laconic mail like "There is a problem. Is it
-okay?". Send the config.log file which is automatically generated by
-configure. Try to capture both the standard output and the error output of the
-<tt>make</tt> command with <tt>script</tt>. There is no way for us to help you
-without the relevant bits of information.
-
-Now, the following directory should have been created :
-
- \li <tt>/home/joe/doc/simgrid/html/</tt>
- \li <tt>/home/joe/lib/</tt>
- \li <tt>/home/joe/include/</tt>
-
-SimGrid is not a binary, it is a library. Both a static and a dynamic
-version are available. Here is what you can find if you try a <tt>ls
-/home/joe/lib</tt>:
-
-\verbatim libsimgrid.a libsimgrid.la libsimgrid.so libsimgrid.so.0 libsimgrid.so.0.0.1
+- HelloWorld.c The example source file.
+- CMakeLists.txt It allows to configure the project.
+- FindPCRE.cmake This finds and links to the pcre library (Normally included into Simgrid directory "GnuWin32").
+- README This explaination.
\endverbatim
-Thus, there is two ways to link your program with SimGrid:
- \li Either you use the static version, e.g
-\verbatim gcc libsimgrid.a -o MainProgram MainProgram.c
-\endverbatim
- In this case, all the SimGrid functions are directly
- included in <tt>MainProgram</tt> (hence a bigger binary).
- \li Either you use the dynamic version (the preferred method)
-\verbatim gcc -lsimgrid -o MainProgram MainProgram.c
-\endverbatim
- In this case, the SimGrid functions are not included in
- <tt>MainProgram</tt> and you need to set your environment
- variable in such a way that <tt>libsimgrid.so</tt> will be
- found at runtime. This can be done by adding the following
- line in your .bashrc (if you use bash and if you have
- installed the SimGrid libraries in your home directory):
-\verbatim export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+Now let's compil this example:
+\li Run "Git bash" (installed with git) or windows shell "cmd".
+\li Open HelloWorld Directory ('cd' command line).
+\li Create a build directory and change directory. (optional)
+\li Type 'cmake -G"Unix Makefiles" \<path_to_HelloWorld_project\>'
+\li Run gmake
+\li You should obtain a runnable example ("HelloWorld.exe").
+
+For compiling your own code you can simply copy the HelloWorld project and rename source name. It will
+create a target with the same name of the source.
+
+\subsection installSimgrid_Win_compile2 How to add and compile a new example
+
+\li Put your source file into the helloWord directory.
+\li Edit CMakeLists.txt by removing the Find Targets section and add those two lines into this section
+\verbatim
+################
+# FIND TARGETS #
+################
+add_executable(TARGET_NAME SOURCES) #It creates a target called 'TARGET_NAME.exe' with the sources 'SOURCES'
+target_link_libraries(TARGET_NAME simgrid pcre) #Links TARGET_NAME with simgrid and pcre
+\endverbatim
+\li To initialize and build your project, you'll need to run
+\verbatim
+cmake -G"Unix Makefiles" \<path_to_HelloWorld_project\>
\endverbatim
+\li Run "gmake"
+\li You should obtain "TARGET_NAME.exe".
-\subsection installSimgrid_compiling_snapshoot SimGrid development snapshots
-
-We have very high standards on software quality, and we are reluctant releasing
-a stable release as long as there is still some known bug in the code base. In
-addition, we added quite an extensive test base, making sure that we correctly
-test the most important parts of the tool.
-
-As an unfortunate conclusion, there may be some time between the stable
-releases. If you want to benefit from the most recent features we introduced,
-but don't want to take the risk of an untested version from the SVN, then
-development snapshots are done for you.
-
-These are pre-releases of SimGrid that still fail some tests about features
-that almost nobody use, or on platforms not being in our core target (which is
-Linux, Mac, other Unixes and Windows, from the most important to the less
-one). That means that using this development releases should be safe for most
-users.
-
-These archives can be found on
-<a href="http://www.loria.fr/~quinson/Research/SimGrid/">this web page</a>. Once you
-got the lastest archive, you can compile it just like any archive (see above).
-
-\subsection installSimgrid_compiling_svn Compiling SimGrid from the SVN
-
-The project development takes place in the SVN, where all changes are
-committed when they happen. Then every once in a while, we make sure that the
-code quality meets our standard and release an archive from the code in the
-SVN. We afterward go back to the development in the SVN. So, if you need a
-recently added feature and can afford some little problem with the stability
-of the lastest features, you may want to use the SVN version instead of a
-released one.
-
-For that, you first need to get the "simgrid" module from
-<a href="http://gforge.inria.fr/scm/?group_id=12">here</a>.
-
-You won't find any <tt>configure</tt> and a few other things
-(<tt>Makefile.in</tt>'s, documentation, ...) will be missing as well. The
-reason for that is that all these files have to be regenerated using the
-latest versions of <tt>autoconf</tt>, <tt>libtool</tt>, <tt>automake</tt>
-(>1.9) and <tt>doxygen</tt> (>1.4). To generate the <tt>configure</tt> and
-the <tt>Makefile.in</tt>'s, you just have to launch the <tt>bootstrap</tt>
-command that resides in the top of the source tree. Then just follow the
-instructions of Section \ref installSimgrid_compiling.
-
-We insist on the fact that you really need the latest versions of
-autoconf, automake and libtool. Doing this step on exotic architectures/systems
-(i.e. anything different from a recent linux distribution) may be
-... uncertain. If you need to compile the SVN version on a machine where all these
-dependencies are not met, the easiest is to do <tt>make dist</tt> in the SVN
-directory of another machine where all dependencies are met. It will create an
-archive you may deploy on other sites just as a regular stable release.
-
-In summary, the following commands will checkout the SVN, regenerate the
-configure script and friends, configure SimGrid and build it.
-
-\verbatim svn checkout svn://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/simgrid/simgrid/trunk simgrid
-cd simgrid
-./bootstrap
-./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --prefix=<where to install SimGrid>
-make \endverbatim
-
-Then, if you want to install SimGrid on the current box, just do:
-\verbatim make install \endverbatim
-
-If you want to build an snapshot of the SVN to deploy it on another box (for
-example because the other machine don't have the autotools), do:
-\verbatim make dist \endverbatim
-
-Moreover, you should never call the autotools manually since you must run
-them in a specific order with specific arguments. Most of the times, the
-makefiles will automatically call the tools for you. When it's not possible
-(such as the first time you checkout the SVN), use the ./bootstrap command
-to call them explicitly.
