[CMake] Build problem : beginner

[Martin O'Brien]

I can't say for certain without seeing all of it, but it sure doesn't look
like there's any source code there, so I would assume that it's a binary
distribution.

Either way, those '*.cmake' files aren't what cmake uses directly to build
things.  You would need a 'CMakeLists.txt' file, which probably includes
those other files somehow.


Good luck,

mm

Subject: [CMake] Build problem : beginner

Hello, 

I'm a beginner with cmake, and I did not find answers whether in the cmake
documentation or in the archive of the mailing list. 

I run a Ubuntu 64 bits and want to use a program.

I've downloaded the .tar.gz file, then extracted it. The structure of the
extracted files is : 

usr/local/ ->

bin/, include/, lib64/, share/

- In bin/, there are executable files.
- In include/, there are .h files.
- In lib64, I have : 
.:
cmtk

./cmtk:
cmtk
lib
libcmtkBase.a
libcmtkGPU.a
libcmtkIO.a
libcmtkNumerics.a
libcmtkPipeline.a
libcmtkQt.a
libcmtkRecon.a
libcmtkRegistration.a
libcmtkSegmentation.a
libcmtksqlite3.a
libcmtkSystem.a
libD4CMTK.a
libmxml.a
libNrrdIO.a

./cmtk/cmtk:
CMTKConfig.cmake

./cmtk/lib:
CMTKLibraryDepends.cmake
UseCMTK.cmake

- And in share/, some documentation. 

I tried to use cmake on the .cmake files, but it does not work. What should
I do to be able to use this software ? Is it already built ? Why is there
not a CMakeLists.txt file in the file I've downloaded ? It must be stupid
questions, that is why feel free to redirect me to a helpful tutorial if you
think I need some. 

(the software I try to use  http://www.nitrc.org/projects/cmtk/ link )

Thank you

Best Regards, 

Tom
