Cmake Ubuntu

(but is included in source) up vote 3 down vote favorite I'm trying to compile a libpng library. The thing is that I need a specific version of this library - 1.2.37 - because the project I'm using it in is written with this version. I've found the source code of this version here (GnuWin32 project). But the folder structure looks something like this: libpng-1.2.37-src/ contrib/ projects/ scripts/ cmake set source directory CMakeLists.txt png.h pngread.c pngwrite.c ... See, the CMakeLists.txt is one level deeper than the source files. I've tried: source directory libpng-1.2.37-src/ -> resulted in error: The source directory does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt source directory libpng-1.2.37-src/scripts -> resulted in multiple errors: File libpng-1.2.37-src/scripts/scripts/libpng.pc.in does not exist. copy CMakeLists.txt from /scripts to /libpng-1.2.37-src and set source directory to /libpng-1.2.37-src -> resulted in error: The source "/libpng-1.2.37-src/CMakeLists.txt" does not match the source "/libpng-1.2.37-src/scripts/CMakeLists.txt" used to generate cache. What should I do to make it work? I don't know why the CMakeLists.txt file would be included if it can't be used. c++ cmake libpng share|improve this question asked Jan 28 '14 at 15:34 davidthepiemaker 18113 I believe you should try 3. again, but wipe the binary directory before that. The error comes from changing the source dir while keeping the cache intact - it should work if you start in a fresh binary dir. –Angew Jan 28 '14 at 15:39 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 5 down vote accepted The INSTALL file explicitely says: If you want to use "cmake" (see www.cmake.org), copy CMakeLists.txt from the "scripts" directory to this directory and type c

I was trying to install OpenCV using http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21409935/cmake-cmakelists-txt-is-not-in-root-folder-but-is-included-in-source the steps shown in http://karytech.blogspot.in/2012/05/opencv-24-on-ubuntu-1204.html But when it comes to the step for Compiling, i get an error : clive@clive-Aspire-4755:~/OpenCV-2.4.0/build$ cmake -D WITH_QT=ON -D WITH_XINE=ON -D WITH_OPENGL=ON -D WITH_TBB=ON -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON .. CMake Error: The source directory "/home/clive" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt. Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI. Can anyone help me? NOTE : The CMakeLists.txt file is present in the folder OpenCV-2.4.0 and not inside build. c++ opencv ubuntu terminal http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24153845/opencv-ubuntu-12-04-cmake-error-source-directory-does-not-appear-to-contain-cm cmake share|improve this question edited Jun 11 '14 at 8:58 ZeMoon 10.8k12859 asked Jun 11 '14 at 2:44 Clive 3023821 Hmm. For some reason .. seems to be /home/clive when it should be home/clive/OpenCV-2.4.0 –drescherjm Jun 11 '14 at 2:52 Did you run the cmake command before with different options? If so perhaps you should delete all files in the build folder and rerun cmake. –drescherjm Jun 11 '14 at 2:55 The instructions seem at that 2 year old blog seem reasonable when it comes to cmake usage. –drescherjm Jun 11 '14 at 2:59 Yes I did try deleting all the files in the build folder but the error still persists. –Clive Jun 11 '14 at 4:56 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 3 down vote Try /home/clive/OpenCV-2.4.0 instead of .. at the end of the command. Also, It's generally easier to use ccmake instead cmake, regarding the options You are trying to set for setup. share|improve this answer answered Jun 11 '14 at 8:56 morynicz 1,60111022 add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sign up using Email and Password Post as a guest Name Email Post as a guest Name Email discard By posting your answer, you agree to the privacy policy and terms of service

I don't know what to do about that. paldepind commented Mar 5, 2014 I ended up doing ./build.sh instead and using the rustc one gets from that.
