Error: SimGearComponent

[daveculp]

cmake fails when I try to build SimGear:

Code: Select all

CMake Error at bucket/CMakeLists.txt:2 (include):
  include could not find load file:

    SimGearComponent


CMake Error at bucket/CMakeLists.txt:7 (simgear_component):
  Unknown CMake command "simgear_component".



Here's the full cmake console output:

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.

Any ideas how to fix this?

what cmake version is this, and which git branch (should be next/next) ? Is this a fresh build tree or are you using an old tree ?
The missing file should be implicitly included by cmake, it should be in the CMakeModules directory.
If you are using a recent version of cmake, and are building next/next (or the 3.2 release tag), consider using "git status" to check your source trees.

cmake is version 2.8.9
SimGear is downloaded today from the link provided at the FlightGear website download page. Version 3.2 dated 1 Oct 2014. http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/simgear/ftp/Source/ , file simgear-3.2.0.tar.bz2

I had the same error trying to compile rc2, which is why I waited for the 3.2 release to try again.

As for git, sorry I don't know anything about it.

Thanks! Dave
