Checking cmake installation error

[fuhlig1]

Hi,
the tool cmake is a prerequisite for FairSoft. It will check the system. Depending on this check it will warn you about missing packages and also adjust some needed variables, so it is not recommended to remove this line.

On your Mac you obviously have cmake available.

Hi.

Yes. It's prerequisite and in case of the system not having cmake, as far as I know, fairsoft installation script automatically install cmake.
But on SL6.1, it just stopped after found out that the system doesn't have cmake.
Maybe it happens only on our system.

Thank you
Genie

Hi,

this is not true any longer. Before we did the introspection of the system using some bash scripts but with the new version of FairSoft we do this with cmake, so it is needed for this step of system introspection.
You are right that cmake was installed if it s not present on the system, so if you uncomment the line you will still install cmake, but definitely to late. The complete installation obviously works but as I said I wouldn't recommend this, because I am not sure how you set the needed environment variables if you switch of the system check. It may work but it is possible that you have later on subtle problems.

Thank you.

I just tried to install the newer version.
Since we're still under development, we could be working on dec13p1.
As you said, the error occurred in ROOT installation which was ok with dec13p1.
I leave the installation log here for your information.

FYI,

• Installation is just fine with SL 6.3
• OSX 10.9.4
  • Configuration was fine, but making failed at the same point as SL6.1
  • I experienced before with newer version of ROOT when configured with ./configure.sh not CMake. When configured CMake, it just worked fine.

Hi,

is your problem meanwhile solved?

Thanks for reminding me.

I checked it again today with jul14p3, but it's not solved yet.
It gives the same error.
I printed out ret_val in line 382 of scripts/check_system.sh, it was 127.

I used SL 6.1 64bit version with gcc 4.4.5

Thank you,
Genie

Hi,

this is not an error. CMake is now a prerequisit. You need to have it installed before you run the configure.sh script. I will try to add a test for CMake before we use it. In case it is not found we will print an error message.

Hi,

Okay, then. It explains everything.
I thought that CMake is automatically installed with FairSoft package because it has the installation script in script folder.

Thank you for your explanation.

Hi.

this was through for older versions of FairSoft, when we did the checks with handmade shell scripts. Now we use Cmake for system introspection, so we need it. Since the issue is solved I close the ticket.

Hi,

with 106b764 the code is changed in such a way that a error message is printed if CMake isn't found on the system.
