CMakeUsage < BETA

To create an external build (i.e. executables compile in a directory different from source):
   1. navigate to the directory where you would like your build to be placed
   2. call =cmake=, and supply the root directory of the source directory as the parameter (specifically, the location of the <nop>CMakeLists.txt file)
   3. afterwards, simply type =make=, and everything should hopefully work...

e.g.
Your source directory
   * =some_dir\ngs_aligner\src=
Your build directory
   * =some_dir\ngs_aligner\build=

In =some_dir\ngs_aligner\build=, simply type:
   * =cmake ..\src=


Side note, to optimize the speed of your program, you can do a "Release" build (using the above example):
   * navigate to the =build= directory
   * type =ccmake ..\src= (note extra =c=)
   * You should obtain an option screen
   * Move to =CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=, press [enter] to edit
      * Type "Release", [enter] to finish
   * Hit [c] to confirm the change
   * Hit [q] to quit
   * type =make= as usual...
      * If all went well, your program is not optimized, and may run faster
