CMake: Setting Environment Variables

Temporary Environment Variables

To temporarily set environment variables before running CMake, type the commands in the console. For example:

``` WEB export BOOST_ROOTusrlocal 1 export LD_LIBRARY_PATHusrlocallibLD_LIBRARY_PATH 2 export ```

Permanent Environment Variables

To set permanent environment variables, modify the .bashrc file in your home directory. Add the following lines to the file:

``` BUILDDIRyour path to build directory here export BUILDDIR ```

Note:

You do not need to set BOOST_ROOT. CMake can find Boost in its standard location.
