Cantor is a KDE Application aimed to provide a nice Interfacefor doing Mathematics and Scientific Computing. It doesn't implementits own Computation Logic, but instead is built around differentBackends.

To build and install Cantor, follow the steps below:

cd cantormkdir buildcd buildcmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASEmakemake install or su -c 'make install'

If-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is not used, Cantor will be installed indefault cmake install directory (/usr/local/ usually).Also, settingCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to some nonstandard location may cause different problemswith searching Cantor files. So there is a need for passing proper paths for KDE install cmake variables.For example, if none of Cantor's backends are found after installation, KDE_INSTALL_PLUGINDIR path shouldbe specified on cmake configuration step to some location.

To uninstall the project:

make uninstall orsu -c 'make uninstall'
