#32 CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:206 still exist after change
"Message:
The answer is simply to drop "src" from the above command. In other words,
path-to-source-tree refers to the top-directory in the source tree, not the
src subdirectory of that. So the above command should read
cmake -DMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/lib ~/Downloads/plplot-5.9.7 >&
cmake.out
I am positive this will work so I am closing this support request, but
feel free to reopen or start a new one or, better yet, subscribe to the
plplot-general mailing list and ask your support questions there.
"
thanks. But your trick did not. I still get the error:
$ ls -l
drwxr-xr-x 22 me me 4096 2010-12-15 22:00 plplot-5.9.7

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:206 (pkg_config_link_flags):
Unknown CMake command "pkg_config_link_flags".
CMake Warning (dev) in CMakeLists.txt:
No cmake_minimum_required command is present. A line of code such as
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
should be added at the top of the file. The version specified may be lower
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.

The line 206 that contains the pkg_config_link_flags command occurs in the CMakeLists.txt file that is in the src subdirectory. Together with the warning message about there not being a minimum version requirement, I have the feeling that you have not downloaded all the stuff
and are instead working in the src subdirectory.
Does your directory plplot-5.9.7 contain the following subdirectories: bindings, cmake, data, ..., src, sys, utils, www and a number of files such as CMakeLists.txt and NEWS?
If not, please download the whole source tree.

I am running this in unubu.
To build, I am followed directions here from
http://plplot.sourceforge.net/docbook-manual/plplot-5.9.7.pdf
where it says:
"Here is the short story:
# Note many other cmake options are available besides -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
# Inspect CMakeCache.txt after a preliminary cmake run to see an annotated
# list of the available options. Then remove CMakeCache.txt and try again.
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<install-prefix> \ <path-to-source-tree> >& cmake.out"
Thanks

That error "No cmake_minimum_required command is present" shows you are still not accessing the correct
source tree. I suspect you have some stale bad cmake results that are keeping you from getting a good result. So
try a completely fresh build where the source tree is newly downloaded (or freshly unpacked from the
tarball) into an initially empty directory. Also, invoke cmake from a build directory that is completely empty before you start. Note, the directory you refer to with your cmake command should contain a CMakeLists.txt file starting with the following line:
# Top-level CMakeLists.txt for PLplot
I am virtually positive what you are reporting is not a bug because nobody else has reported anything like you are describing. Instead, I think you are just having trouble starting the build process with cmake. So I am reclassifying this as a support request but leaving it open in case you have any more difficulty after invoking cmake from an initially empty build directory that uses the correct clean source directory.
Closed (too old).
