This readme shortly explains how to use the different buildsystems. 
Currently (November 2010) we provide a CMake and a libtool version. 
Each buildsystem uses it own configuration file:
	buildsystem	configfile
	cmake		CMakeLists.txt
	libtool		Makefile_libtool

The cmake system will generate a new Makefile, thus if we would use 
simple Makefile for libtool, the libtool configuration would be overidden.

LIBTOOL version
The libtool version requires
   * AMDiS was build with libtool 
      (i.e.: configure --prefix=`pwd` ; make ; make install )
   * The prefix MUST be the AMDiS-directory
   * The AMDiS directory should be ../AMDiS. But you can change the 
   variable AMDIS_DIR (see line 15 in the libtool configuration file).
If those requirements are fullfilled, you can compile all demos with
   make -f Makefile_libtool
or a subset {demo1, demo2} with
   make -f Makefile_libtoo demo1 demo2

CMAKE version
The cmake version requires
   * AMDiS was build and installed using cmake or downloaded from www.simunova.com 
      or installed from a package from http://www.simunova.com. For more information, 
      simply have a look at http://www.simunova.com.
To use the cmake buildsystem, simply run
   cmake .
If your cmake complains about not to find AMDiS, you have at least two ways:
    1. run cmake -DAMDiS_DIR=<path-to-AMDiS> .
    2. run a graphic cmake tool (i.e. ccmake, cmake-gui, ...) and select your amdis 
    	configuration directory <path-to-AMDiS>

HINT: The <path-to-AMDiS> is the directoy containing the file AMDiSConfig.cmake.
If you installed AMDiS with a package manager, cmake should already find AMDiS.
