#14 Cmake failed in cgnslib_3.1.4-2

[Yannick]

Hello,

I try to compile cgnslib 3.1.4-2 with cmake but it failed.
I have exactly the same problem with the first cgnslib 3.1 release.
I use cmake 2.6-patch4 and gcc 4.1.2 and Linux Redhat RHEL 5.4

cmake --version

cmake version 2.6-patch 4

Installation steps :
cd /home/user
tar xzf cgnslib_3.1.4-2.tar.gz
cd cgnslib_3.1.4
cmake /home/webadm//cgnslib_3.1.4/src

if you wish to support older CMake versions for this project. For more
information run "cmake --help-policy CMP0000".
This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

Can you fix the the error :
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:36 (if):
if had incorrect arguments: ${SIZE_OF_LONG} GREATER 4 (Unknown arguments
specified). ?

Or can you explain me a workaround to bypass this error ?

Best Regards.
Thanks.

I have exactly the same problem with cgnslib_3.2.1.
It is more easy to compile cgnslib 2.5.5 than 3.x :( .

[nilesh]

specify source folder correctly to cmake command.

$ cmake PATH_TO_CGNS_FOLDER/cgnslib_3.1.4/

Don't use "PATH_TO_CGNS_FOLDER/cgnslib_3.1.4/src". This gives error. Its weird but this works.

I am getting an error for both options

option (1): $cmake PATH_TO_CGNS_FOLDER/cgnslib_3.2.1/src
error as described above by "abc"

option (2): $ cmake PATH_TO_CGNS_FOLDER/cgnslib_3.2.1/
CMake Error: The source "PATH_TO_CGNS_FOLDER/cgnslib_3.2.1/CMakeLists.txt" does not match the source "PATH_TO_CGNS_FOLDER/cgnslib_3.2.1/scr/CMakeLists.txt" used to generate cache. Re-run cmake with a different source directory.
