Topic: CMake errors prevent compilation

Hi,

I was running into an annoying bug recently and tried to fix it myself. However, I can't get CMake to run properly right out of the master branch. There are what looks to me obvious errors in the CMake scripts, but I thought as these haven't been changed recently, I'm most likely doing something wrong.

Here is my output when running cmake on the current master branch (URLs in output stripped due to validator in this forum):

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

The errors start with FindSphinx not found. This is totally understandable, as build/_deps/ecm-src/CMakeLists.txt is not built to be imported as a module. See line 36:

set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake")

This does obviously not work and should be

set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake")

But on the other hand, if this is (as I understand it) a widely used CMake scripts collection by the KDE team, it is probably not meant to be used by CMake's FetchContent.

So, how am I supposed to compile QET?

Thanks,
Christoph

Re: CMake errors prevent compilation

Hello Christoph,

try it with qmake (Qt5).

on Debian-Systems there is a Package 

apt install extra-cmake-modules

Maybe there is something similar on your apple...

The extra-cmake-modules in homebrew are too new. For some reason I haven't investigated further they don't work with the qet project.

Seems like I'm stuck with qmake for my first tries. After having seen the dev-env setup for qmake posted by @scipio810 I can understand why Qt moved to CMake as their primary build system. I've almost forgotten how clumsy qmake was. ;-)

Anyways, I'm on a business trip right now but will give it a try next week. Keep you posted.
