Cross-platform compiling sparse direct solver MUMPS by using cmake

MUMPS is a MUltifrontal Massively Parallel sparse direct Solver (http://graal.ens-lyon.fr/MUMPS/) , which can be compiled easily under UNIX-alike platform. But it is hard to compiler it in native Windows environment.

The goal of this article is to introduce a compiler independent method to compile MUMPS by using Cross-platform compiling tools CMake (https://cmake.org/).  

1. Download CMakeLists.txt and copy it onto the MUMPS home directory. The CMakeLists.txt file considered the specific demand of Visual studio, where the Fortran and C programs should be compiled separately. 

2. Using cmake to generate files compiler needed.

3. Pay attention to the fact that <inttypes.h> file include in  mumps_c_types.h is part of C-99, which maybe not supported by visual c++. depends upon the version of VC adopted.  In this case

    1) Modify it to <stdint.h> or 2) Download the file from here.

The method provided here should be applied under any platform, theoretically,  for those CMake supports. I tested it in Visual studio 2012 and intel Fortran for MUMPS 5.0.1 and MUMPS 5.0.2
