Compilation plugins

Setup

Important

Make sure the newest version of CEINMS-RT is installed on your system before proceeding to this section. A guide to installing CEINMS-RT can be found in the Installation section.

CMake GUI

During the installation process, CMake has been installed on your system. We will now use this software to create a Visual Studio solution from which we can build the CEINMS-RT plugins.

First, search for the cmake-gui app by opening the Windows search bar. This can be done by pressing the Windows key and typing “cmake”. After finding cmake-gui, open it.

You will now be greeted with the GUI of CMake:
