Re: [wsjt-devel] Candidate Release WSJT-X 3.0.0-rc1

[Marco C. <PY...@ou...>]

Hello,

I attempted to compile the new source WSJTX 3.0.0-rc1 code as always I 
did so far, but now cmake is giving an error.

This is the sequence of commands I alway launch (in this specific case I 
added the POLICY_VERSION=3.5):

tar -xzvf /home/marco/Scaricati/wsjtx-3.0.0-rc1.tgz -C 
/home/marco/WSJT-X_build/build/
cd /home/marco/WSJT-X_build/build/wsjtx-3.0.0-rc1/
/usr/bin/cmake -Dhamlib_INCLUDE_DIRS=/usr/local/include \
  -Dhamlib_LIBRARIES=/usr/local/lib64/libhamlib.so \
  -Dhamlib_LIBRARY_DIRS=/usr/local/lib64 \
  -DWSJT_GENERATE_DOCS=OFF \
  -DWSJT_SKIP_MANPAGES=ON \
  -DWSJT_QMAP=NO \
  -Werror=deprecated-declarations \
  -Wno-error \
  -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5
  -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/marco/WSJT-X_build/.wsjtx .

This is the answer of cmake:

CMake Warning:
   No source or binary directory provided.  Both will be assumed to be the
   same as the current working directory, but note that this warning will
   become a fatal error in future CMake releases.


CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:1 (cmake_minimum_required):
   Compatibility with CMake < 3.10 will be removed from a future version of
   CMake.

   Update the VERSION argument <min> value.  Or, use the <min>...<max> 
syntax
   to tell CMake that the project requires at least <min> but has been 
updated
   to work with policies introduced by <max> or earlier.

Could someone kindly clarify to me what I need to change, in order the 
code being compiled without error, please?
