27   What you need to compile and use OpenMD:
28  
29 < 1) Good C, C++ and Fortran95 compilers.  We've built and tested OpenMD
29 > 1) Good C++ and C compilers.  We've built and tested OpenMD
30      on the following architecture & compiler combinations:

39 <    OpenMD uses features of the Fortran 95 language. The fortran
40 <    portions of our code will not compile if your compiler does not
41 <    support these particular features. Some (but not all) Fortran 90
42 <    compilers do support these features.
39 > 2) CMake, a cross-platform build system which is available at
40 >    http://www.cmake.org     Most Linux and some Unix distributions
41 >    provide CMake as a standard package. If not, please download it,
42 >    and make sure you get a recent version. Mac OS X users can either
43 >    download the CMake installer or install it from the command line
44 >    using macports.
45  
46 <    Compilers that are known to fail on OpenMD: g77, older versions of
47 <    gfortran, older Portland Group compilers (pgf77, pgf90).
46 > 3) MPI-2 is optional for the single processor version of OpenMD, but
47 >    is required if you want OpenMD to run in parallel. We like
48 >    OpenMPI. Other implementations of MPI-2 might work, but we haven't
49 >    tested them.  You can get Open MPI here: http://www.open-mpi.org/
50  
51 <    Compilers that are known to work on OpenMD: Intel's ifort,
52 <    Pathscale's pathf95, IBM's xlf95, Portland-F¢s pgf95 (version 6 or-A
49 <    higher), Sun's f95. There may be others that work also.
51 > 4) Other optional (but quite useful) libraries that will unlock some
52 >    features of OpenMD:
53  
54 < 2) GNU make (also known as gmake).  Regular make won't work.  
55 <    Really.  We've tried.  Don't bother with regular make.  
56 <    Seriously.  You need GNU make.  Did we mention that you
54 <    need GNU make?
54 >      Open Babel:  http://openbabel.org
55 >      Qhull:       http://www.qhull.org
56 >      FFTW:        http://www.fftw.org
57  
58 < 3) Perl.  Compilation dependencies in Fortran95 are somewhat
59 <    complicated, so the build process uses a perl script called
60 <    filepp to do this job.  You need perl for filepp, so you
59 <    need perl to build OpenMD.
58 > 5) Some of the utility scripts depend on Python and Perl.  These
59 >    interpreters are common installations on most flavors of Unix and
60 >    Mac OS X.
61  
61 4) MPI-2 is optional for the single processor version of OpenMD, but
62    is required if you want OpenMD to run in parallel. We like
63    OpenMPI. Other implementations of MPI-2 might work, but we haven-F¢t-A
64    tried.   You can get Open MPI here: http://www.open-mpi.org/

63   INSTRUCTIONS
64  
65   1) Get, build, and test the required pieces above.
66 < 2) ./configure  
66 > 2) cmake .
67   3) make
68   4) make install
