Cantor is a KDE Application aimed to provide a nice Interface for doing Mathematics and Scientific Computing. It doesn't implement its own Computation Logic, but instead is built around different Backends.

To build and install Cantor, follow the steps below:
cd cantor
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE
make
make install or su -c 'make install'
If -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is not used, Cantor will be installed in
default cmake install directory (/usr/local/ usually).
Also, setting CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to some unstandart location may happens different problems
with searching Cantor files. So there is a need for passing proper paths for KDE install cmake variables.
For example, if no one Cantor's backends found after installation, KDE_INSTALL_PLUGINDIR path should
be specified on cmake configuration step to some location.
To uninstall the project:
make uninstall or su -c 'make uninstall'
