#160 Cannot build FLAC with cmake

[Simon Giddings]

Good morning,

I have just cloned the github flac repository onto my Ubuntu 18.04 vm system.
Following the instructions, I then when to

<devdir>/flac/build

I then tried to run

cmake ../src

First error, my cmake was too old, so I upgraded it to version 3.20.
I ran the same command from the same place and am getting multiple cmake errors.

1. CMake is requiring a project declaration within sub build scripts libFLAC and probably also libFLAC++.
2. CMake cannot find macros which have been included from within a parent CMakeLists file
3. CMake cannot find the scripts held within flac/cmake

I will see if I can fix these problems, but as I have never used flac beforehand, I cannot garantee that my fixes will be correct.

Are you aware of these problems ?

Best regards
Simon Giddings

You shouldn't do cmake ../src but cmake .. instead in your case.
