The only dependencies for GMT are:

• Linux
• A C compiler
• MPI
• Portable Hardware Locality (hwloc)

If hwloc has been installed from source, or CMake is not able to locate it, it is reccomend to set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH env variable:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:$HWLOC_INSTALL_DIR/lib/pkgconfig

Before attempting to build GMT, please take a look at the requirements in List of Dependencies. Building GMT is as simple as:

git clone https://github.com/pnnl/gmt.git
cd gmt
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$GMT_ROOT \
         -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make -j <SOMETHING_REASONABLE> && make install

where $GMT_ROOT is the desidered installation prefix.
