Hi Roland,

CMake works fine for the installation.

There may be minor typos in the online installation instructions using 
CMake here http://www.gromacs.org/Developer_Zone/Cmake

To use single precision FFTW, the two FFTW3 flags should be:

cmake -D FFTW3F_INCLUDE_DIR=... -D FFTW3F_LIBRARIES=...

instead of FFTW3_INCLUDE_DIR and FFTW3_LIBRARIES. Otherwise cmake will 
complain fftw library not found when building single precision libraries.

Thanks,

Yudong
