Re: [Plplot-general] build in separate directory

[Alexy K. <del...@gm...>]

Ah, I see what the issue was -- I first called

cmake .

-- in the source directory; then calling cmake /path/to/source from a  
separate build directory still placed the Makefile in the original  
source.

I guess the desired behavior would be to notice we're in a new build  
directory and switch to it, instead of clinging to the source.

I had to move aside the old source and checkout anew to be able to  
follow the wiki...  But now it all built fine.  One snag was, I had  
Intel Fortran with an expired trial, and cmake choked on that -- it  
could call ifort, but it returned error on exit.  This is basically  
not worse than not having it, so it should have simply been disabled  
(and I do have gfortran on which cmake could have fallen back, but  
didn't).

Overall, an interesting thing, cmake.  I used ccmake to tweak its  
settings, and it's rather amusing.  The make is with colors and  
progress percentages, very cool.
Cheers,
Alexy
